A man was arrested at the Calgary International Airport Tuesday after a handgun was detected in his carry-on luggage.
Security officers in a pre-boarding screening area at concourse D noticed the gun inside the luggage and alerted police just after noon Tuesday.
Police arrested the man without incident and seized an unloaded, small calibre handgun and several rounds of ammunition from the bag, said Calgary police. They believe the man was flying to Saskatoon.
Ziad Mohamad Jeha, 30, of Calgary, has been charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon without a permit and possession of a restricted weapon with readily accessible ammunition.
Calgary police said the suspect is known to them.

Another example of stupid people. Is he really that stupid? Or was he trying to see if security would pick up on the gun? As much as I think that CATSA personel are completely useless, it is pretty hard not to see a hand gun come up on the screen of a x-ray machine.
