No idea what kind of firearm/ammo the cop carried from LAX-TPE. Is there non-metal ammo as well as handguns?
She had a Ruger LCP loaded with 6 rounds of hollow point 380 bullets Nice little inexpensive piece. I assume it was her back-up guns.

There is a pretty good chance that the TSA or the Santa Monica Police Department doesn't know about this incident yet... guess they will never find out.
