I found a pistol at the Incheon International Airport transfer station..."There's no charge of air attack".

A handgun was found in the luggage of an American man in his 40s who was using the Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 transfer station.

The man, who departed from Los Angeles, U.S., was passing through a search site to transfer his plane at around 6:50 p.m. on the 22nd when his handgun was caught by a security checker who was reading his luggage.

As a result of a joint investigation conducted by the Incheon International Airport Police Corps, it was confirmed that the pistol, made in the 1900s, could actually be fired.

A police investigation reportedly stated that the man had purchased a handgun as an antique in the United States and had no idea he had put it in his bag.

Police believe the man failed to detect a handgun at the airport when he departed from the United States.

Police say the ammunition was not found together, and that the man was not suspected of anti-aircraft, and that they left the country after retrieving the pistol.
