/ CBS Miami

ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — For the second time in a month, a Florida man has been arrested after he reportedly tried to bring a gun on an airplane.

TSA officials say the unidentified man was arrested at Syracuse Hancock International Airport on Thursday after he was caught at a checkpoint with a loaded gun in his luggage.

TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein tweeted a picture of the gun and bullets. She said the same man was caught 21 days ago with a different loaded gun at another airport in upstate New York.

In both incidents, officials said the man claimed he didn't know he had a loaded gun with him.
