ARLINGTON, Va. – Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport intercepted a fourth firearm in seven days at a checkpoint on Thursday, April 11. The four guns were caught on April 5, 7, 8 and 11.
Yesterday, an Edgewater, Md., woman was stopped with a 9mm handgun loaded with seven bullets. She told officials that she was cleaning and placed the firearm into the small food bag that she was planning to take to the airport and forgot the gun was inside. The firearm took up about half of her lunch sack.
Yesterday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the final rule on per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known commonly as PFAS or “forever chemicals”. COG and metropolitan Washington’s water utilities support regulations based on science and research to protect human health. PFAS are persistent in the environment, and associated health risks from prolonged exposure have been identified. Regional water systems and EPA share the same goal of ensuring the delivery of clean, affordable, and high-quality drinking water to residents.
“We support the EPA’s efforts on new regulations to limit exposure to PFAS compounds, which enter the environment through industrial and household uses. We encourage the EPA to redouble its efforts to keep PFAS compounds out of our environment and drinking water supplies. The Service Authority and drinking water providers across the region will maintain our standard of excellence in drinking water,” Prince William County Service Authority General Manager Calvin D. Farr, Jr. stated.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport intercepted two firearms in carry-on bags at security checkpoints this past weekend.

The very next day they stopped a Leesburg, Va., man who was carrying an unloaded .380 handgun in his backpack. The man told TSA officers that he forgot that he had his gun with him.

ARLINGTON, Va.—Today, the Institute for Justice (IJ) applauds the Virginia General Assembly and Gov. Glenn Youngkin for enacting reforms that give home bakers more opportunities to earn an honest living while also solidifying their constitutional right to advertise their food products online. Today’s signing comes three months after Kelly Phillips and the Institute for Justice (IJ) teamed up to petition the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).
Last November VDACS told Kelly, who owns KP’s Kate Pops & Treats, that she couldn’t advertise her cake pops on social media. In its letter, IJ warned VDACS that such a rule violated Kelly’s First Amendment rights. A month later, after the situation gained the attention of Gov. Youngkin, regulators at VDACS clarified that home bakers were free to advertise their products online, allowing Kelly to continue bringing smiles to customers’ faces one cake pop at a time.
