    More firearms have been seized in recent months at Raleigh-Durham International Airport security checkpoints, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA will share an update at 9:30 a.m. on Monday. Flyers can travel with guns, but there are some rules. Guns must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided case in a checked bag, and travelers should tell the airline about the firearm at the check-in counter. Firearms are allowed as checked baggage only.
