Two airline baggage handlers used their employee uniforms and identification cards to enter restricted areas, bypass screeners and carry a duffel bag loaded with guns and drugs into a plane's passenger cabin, according to court documents released Wednesday.

A tip led authorities to investigate the men aboard the Delta flight headed for Puerto Rico on Monday afternoon, said Carlos Baixauli, a Miami-based special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Christopher White, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration in Washington, said passengers were not in danger. He declined to address the security breach on the plane.

Thomas Anthony Munoz, 22, was arrested when he got off the plane at the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan. Authorities found 13 handguns, one assault rifle and eight clear bags containing a total of 8 pounds of marijuana in the duffel bag he was carrying, Baixauli said.

Oh this makes me feel safe!:sarcasm:

1. If he was arrested getting off the plane, and the stuff was in the bag he had

that means HE CHECKED THEM ONTO THE PLANE. How did THAT happen?

3. First line of story - baggage handlers put them on the plane

I take it the bags were not checked.

4. And he thought no one would notice that he got ON the plane WITHOUT the bag?

No wonder I got confused!

Now, THAT would have been a security breach!:eyes:
