Baggage Handlers Bring Guns, Drugs On Commercial Flight

Two baggage handlers used employee IDs to bring 13 handguns, an assault rifle, and 8 pounds of marijuana on a Florida flight to Puerto Rico. The two men were arrested getting off the flight after an anonymous tip was received by the Orlando Police Department.

The two men were not connected to any terrorist plot, but rather were a part of a weapons and drug trafficking scheme. However, the security breach did raise concerns about background checks on airport employees.
