TSA announced that this has been the worst year for gun-carrying passengers. Agents have already set a new record for confiscating guns at airports this year, at more than 5,700.

That comes to about 16 every single day. 85 percent of those weapons were loaded.

Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport had the most weapons confiscated, followed by DFW. Houston finished third. Then, Phoenix and Nashville.
