ATLANTA -- A Delta Airlines pilot was arrested on Saturday for carrying a concealed weapon to the airport.
Matthew Lamar McDaniel was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport for carrying a concealed weapon.
McDaniel had a loaded Taurus .38 special in his bag with five rounds.
McDaniel said he forgot the gun was in his bag, but he does have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Police said the gun was not "artfully concealed."
McDaniel is currently employed with Delta Airlines as a pilot for the past 3 years.
McDaniel bonded out of jail Monday on a $5,700 bond.
Delta said McDaniel was off duty at the time and his employment status remains unchanged.
