Keeping Plastic Weapons Out of Airports

摘要

In 1986, Washington columnist Jack Anderson reported that "Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi is in the process of buying more than 100 plastic handguns that would be difficult for airport security forces to detect." Congress responded with the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988, which banned the manufacture, import, possession, and transfer of firearms not detectable by security devices.
