On September 24, 2012 Republic Airlines flight attendant Jaclyn Luby from West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania entered Philadelphia airport at around 6:50am ET with a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson in her carry on luggage.
The flight attendant is a licensed gun owner with a valid concealed weapons permit. She told police she forgot to remove it from her bag before going into the airport for work.
A TSA agent at terminal C noticed the gun when the bag went through an x-ray scanner and promptly notified police. Jaclyn was immediately taken into police custody and brought to another room. A Philadelphia police officer confiscated the gun. As the officer attempted to remove the ammunition from the gun it discharged and the bullet entered an occupied TSA employee break room where one agent was sitting. No one was injured as a result of the incident.
The flight attendant was given a citation for disorderly conduct and then released. The attendant works for Republic Airlines which operates flights for US Airways. The flight was headed to Dallas, TX and arrived on time since a replacement flight attendant boarded the flight. The incident is being investigated by Philadelphia police internal affairs and the officer is going through firearms retraining.
