A former baggage handler at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to smuggle a Mac-11 machine gun onto a commercial flight, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia announced today.
Stone Mountain resident Rasondo Maurice Norris, 30—who worked for AirTran Airlines—was sentenced today for violating the Atlanta airport’s security measures when he smuggled the machine gun, a silencer and a magazine past security checkpoints, according to federal prosecutors and court documents associated with the criminal case. Norris pleaded guilty last October.
