Last week was the fifth-busiest of 2013 for gun confiscations at airport security points as the Transportation Security Administration found 46 guns, all but six of them loaded. That was the most since a string of record weeks in May, June and July.

We track the TSA weekly and have built a database that is available for review and download. Details here on National Security Zone.
