A New Hampshire man was arrested on charges of illegal weapons possession after TSA X-ray screeners at Logan Airport noticed two antique guns in a carry-on bag, according to Massachusetts State Police.
Brent Cameron, 44, of New London, NH, was released on personal recognizance at his arraignment in East Boston District Court, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
According to State Police:
At 0743 hours Trooper Joseph Stanford was dispatched to at TSA security checkpoint in Terminal E at Logan International Airport, where he was advised that an x-ray machine detected two images that looked like handguns in a carry-on bag. Trooper James Savage, who also responded, searched the bag and observed two handguns. The guns were determined to be antique .22 caliber Derringer pistols. The owner of the bag and guns, BRENT M. CAMERON, told Troopers that he had purchased the guns at an auction last week and claimed not to have known they were in the bag. The man was further asked if he had a license to carry, and stated that he did not have a license and did not need one in New Hampshire.
The guns were unloaded, police said.
Innocent, etc.
