![Dozens of LAX passengers try to sneak guns past security. Few face serious punishment - Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/resizer/pTcNa030OUGOHFcMEfZyBm64YH8=/1200x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/MDWYSEQJZRAG3BPMK4DG5UJSIQ.jpg)
To determine what happens to people arrested for bringing a gun to LAX, The Times analyzed court records for the 33 months from Jan. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2018, and found that most air travelers caught with a firearm were, like Henrie, charged with misdemeanors and received sentences that were much lighter than the maximum six months in jail, $1,000 in fines and other punishments that could be imposed.
