Nearly 2 million passengers pass through TSA airport security checkpoints every day. Some of them are packing an incredible assortment of deadly, dead or living but banned carry-on items.
TSA screened more than 432 million checked bags, 1.6 billion carry-on bags and 12.9 million airport employees in 2015, intercepting an average of 7 firearms daily at 236 airports. A record 2,653 guns were found in carry-on bags – 83 percent of them loaded.

Plus the unknown – stuff TSA does not catch. They miss a lot, apparently (see below).
