Ammunition magazine discovered on Frontier Airlines flight in Denver, passengers deplaned and rescreened
A gun magazine was found on Frontier Airlines Flight 4765 at Denver International Airport on Sunday evening as the aircraft prepared to depart for Phoenix. The airline's preliminary investigation indicates the magazine belonged to a law enforcement officer who left it on a previous flight. All passengers were deplaned, rescreened, and rebooked on a flight departing Monday morning; the TSA and FBI are investigating.
