Verdict
Mixed
2024-02-21Reasoning
TSA reported 6,737 firearm seizures in 2023, an all-time high exceeding the prior 2022 record of 6,542. The raw number supports Schumer, but the seizure rate per million passengers actually declined (7.8 vs. 8.6) as passenger volume grew. PolitiFact rated this Mostly True.
