Original Note:
While the handgun as depicted is not loaded it is unlikely that this picture was taken before the weapon had been confiscated and made safe for handling. The claims made in the tweet would therefore not be erroneous. TSA has a history of posting pictures of seized firearms. https://www.tsa.gov/blog/2020/02/27/tsa-week-review-feb-10-feb-23 https://money.cnn.com/2013/07/09/technology/social/tsa-instagram/index.html
