CBSLA has learned that Brown was taken into custody while going through Terminal 6's security screening. He was cooperative with LAX's Police Department and was transported to LAPD's Pacific Division.

It's unclear at this moment what kind of weapon Brown was carrying or whether he had it on him or in a bag.

TMZ reported that Brown was carrying the firearm in his bag.

Brown has played 15 seasons in the NFL, spending the last five with the Seattle Seahawks. 

Brown, who is 36-years-old, is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and first-team All-Pro.

The Virginia native has made a name for himself as a consistent starter in the league, playing in at least 12 games every season.
