How many guns were found by random security checks vs. the x-ray and the magnetometer?

Knives are largely irrelevant as they can no longer effectively be used to hijack an airplane.

I was actually thinking about the several instances of loaged guns (in White Plains and others) and knives (Chicago and others) not nail files.
