TSA agents at Newark Liberty International Airport stopped two men with loaded guns in their carry-on bags over the weekend.
On Saturday, a Mountain Lakes man was caught with a 9-millimeter handgun loaded with four bullets.
Later that day, a New York man was found with another handgun carrying six bullets.
Both had permits, so no arrests were made.
TSA said these incidents bring the total to five guns intercepted at Newark checkpoints this year.
