Pennsylvania Man Arrested at JFK Airport with Gun - He Didn't Forget He Had It
Posted on the 20 April 2014 by Mikeb302000New York Post
There’s still one man in America who doesn’t know that you can’t bring weapons onto airplanes. A knucklehead from Pennsylvania found out the hard way that guns and air travel don’t mix when he walked up to a security checkpoint at JFK Wednesday and plunked a pistol down into the X-ray scanner tray as if it were his keys or wallet. Shocked TSA agents’ jaws dropped when they saw Richard Forti, 55, casually flash the .32-caliber handgun. He was immediately seized by Port Authority cops, who found another weapon on him — a pair of “cat eye” brass knuckles, which have two metal spikes on the top that look like cat ears.
