DALLAS — News 8 has uncovered a major airport security breach.

Investigators are trying to find out how bullets and a magazine from a gun made it past security screeners and onto a plane full of passengers before anyone noticed.

Fifty-three passengers and five crew members on a Southwest Airlines flight from Oklahoma City to Dallas Love Field were removed from the jet. Passengers and the plane were searched because of the Transportation Security Administration oversight.

Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Andrea McCauley issued this statement to News 8:

"Out of an abundance of caution, passengers on flights that had already departed were screened for connecting flights. The ammunition was removed from a passenger's bag who was connecting in Denver."
