Delta Worker Accused of Smuggling Guns on Planes

Federal agents arrested a Delta Airlines baggage handler Monday on suspicion of allegedly helping smuggle firearms onto passenger jets to New York City, NBC News reported. Eugene Harvey, a ramp agent, allegedly shuttled the firearms into the airport — avoiding detection since airport workers don't go through TSA screening, according to an affidavit filed by a senior federal air marshal, George Randell Taylor. Video footage from the Atlanta airport showed Harvey allegedly delivering the weapons to a man who would then carry them with him on flights to New York. When Henry was arrested, he had on him 18 handguns — seven that were loaded, according to the affidavit. The 31-year-old is charged with felony crimes of criminal possession of weapons and criminal sale of firearms/
