Overview
- A passenger found a loaded magazine with ten hollow‑point rounds near seat 7A during boarding for a return flight to Cincinnati at Gate C‑6 on Nov. 9.
- The item bore the initials “K H,” and officers deplaned the aircraft for a coordinated search with TSA, DHS, the Department of Aviation and K‑9 units.
- No additional items of concern were located, all passengers were re‑screened, and the flight departed around 7:56–8:00 p.m. after a delay of roughly three to four hours.
- Frontier says the ammunition belonged to a law‑enforcement officer from an earlier flight, but Atlanta police have not confirmed ownership.
- The FBI was notified, officials reported no active threat, and the magazine and ammunition remain in Atlanta Police custody as the inquiry proceeds.
