But when she landed at Newark Airport at 10:24, she immediately told a Port Authority police officer.
“She was visibly upset. She said she had a license to carry it and just forgot it,” Della Fave said. “The [Port Authority] officer took possession of the handgun and made it safe.”
The officer contacted the Essex County prosecutor, who declined to prosecute the woman because she self-reported the incident.

From the article:
The TSA had no explanation last night about how the weapon was missed during screening.
“TSA is aware of this situation and is reviewing the circumstances,” said Lisa Farbstein, a spokeswoman for the agency.
Duh! It happened because Andy Ramirez's coworkers are on the lookout for ABCNEWS, not weapons.

It makes you wonder how many guns get through by people who don't turn themselves in.

Careful, Ink. You know what happens to people who try to take too much frost-ing through the checkpoint.....almost as deadly as peanut butter.
