A JetBlue pilot lost his government-issued handgun after a passenger mistakenly picked up his carry-on luggage, US authorities said on Friday.
The pilot was waiting for his New York-to-Pittsburgh flight at Kennedy Airport on Thursday morning when a passenger who was traveling with children mistakenly picked up his backpack along with her family's bags, an official familiar with the incident said.
The passenger boarded a flight to West Palm Beach, Florida. When she realized the bag was not hers, she told a flight attendant, and it was returned, the official said.
The Transportation Security Administration said the gun was locked so that it could not fire.
