Manny Melendez and Sandra Melendez were established aviation security professionals when they met 18 years ago. Since then, they’ve learned how to navigate a successful work-life balance as independent professionals, spouses and parents.

This week, our Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) partnered with FEMA to directly support those in the path of Hurricane #Helene. FAMs acted as escorts for vehicles navigating the damaged, treacherous roads from Georgia to North Carolina, and conducted search and rescue missions through mountainous terrain and swift flowing waters. They also patrolled local roads and neighborhoods for anyone in need of assistance and conducted welfare checks for families unable to get in touch with their loved ones. Across TSA, our thoughts are with those affected by the devastation from Hurricane Helene. If you’re not already, we encourage you to follow FEMA for updates from the region.

Great job by TSA officers at Syracuse Hancock International Airport who, last week, intercepted a loaded firearm that was detected inside a passenger's carry-on bag. TSA officers notified the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority Police who confiscated the firearm and detained the man, a resident of Syracuse, for questioning. He faces a stiff federal financial civil penalty for carrying a firearm to a checkpoint that is likely to cost him thousands of dollars. "Knowing that you cannot carry a firearm onto your flight is part of being a responsible gun owner," said Bart R. Johnson, TSA’s Federal Security Director for Upstate New York. Last year, we detected and intercepted a record number of firearms at our checkpoints across the country - a record we don't want to repeat this year. We often hear that people “forget” they’ve left these in their bag. Our best tips? Start your packing with an empty bag and check out our website for tips on how to properly pack your firearm in your *checked* bag. Pictured below is the firearm intercepted in Syracuse, plus others detected by #TeamTSA just last week. Info: https://lnkd.in/gxta9nb2 #TravelTips
