A West Virginia man was arrested after TSA intercepted a gun at the Pittsburgh International Airport. The handgun was found at a security checkpoint in a carry-on bag on Wednesday. It belonged to a Morgantown resident. TSA said they are on pace to set a record for most guns caught at the airport in a year.
