Narrative

DURING CRUISE FLT; FL310; 1 FLT ATTENDANT BROUGHT TO COCKPIT A LIVE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN SHELL A PAX GAVE TO HER. PAX WAS SITTING IN ROW XA AND FOUND IT ON THE FLOOR. FLT ATTENDANT LOOKED AROUND FOR MORE AND FOUND NONE. NO PAX CLAIMED THE SHELL. DISPATCH WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SENT ACARS MESSAGE BACK SAYING SLC WILL BE NOTIFIED AND MEETING THE AIRPLANE. UPON ARR IN SLC NO ONE SPECIAL MET THE AIRPLANE AND THEY CLAIMED NO ONE NOTIFIED THEM AT ALL. PAX DEPLANED NORMALLY. I WAS DISAPPOINTED SOMEONE DROPPED THE BALL AND THOUGHT AT THE VERY LEAST THEY WOULD HAVE SOME SECURITY PERSONNEL THERE TO HAND SEARCH EVERYONE DEPLANING CARRY-ON LUGGAGE. THE STATION MGR HAD CABIN SVC GIVE THE JET AN EXTRA GOOD SEARCH AS WELL AS MY FE AND NO OTHER LIVE AMMUNITION WAS FOUND. RETURN TRIP TO DFW WAS NORMAL. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD FIND SUCH ITEMS AT THE SECURITY SCREENING CHK-POINTS BUT THERE'S NO WAY TELLING WHEN OR WHERE IT PASSED THROUGH AND AT WHAT ARPT. AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON OUR JET'S FLOOR FOR DAYS BEFORE FOUND.
