TSA officer arrested after gun spotted in luggage
Orlando police arrested a Transportation Security Administration
officer who is accused of trying to bring a gun through a security
checkpoint.
Officials say 25-year-old Rynel B. Delacruz was arrested Monday night at Orlando International Airport. He was released Tuesday after posting $250 bail. He faces an aviation personal conduct charge.
TSA spokesman Jonathan Allen confirmed Thursday that Delacruz's employment with TSA ended on May 18.
According to a police report, a TSA screener at the airport spotted a gun in luggage that Delacruz sent through an x-ray machine. The screener contacted supervisors and Orlando police were called. The officer found a fully-loaded Ruger .380 handgun.
Police said Delacruz told them he had forgotten the gun was in the luggage.







Not sure about a loaded gun, but a couple of years back flew across the whole world stopping at several airports. Came home to find a pepper spray in my carry-on that traveled with me all this time and no one bothered to mention or find it.
How's that for "security" at those "major airports?"
