Summary: On Wednesday, October 16, NBA Hall of Famer, Bill Russell was arrested for carrying a  loaded .38 caliber handgun at the Seattle-International Airport. The police issued him a citation and released him. The seventy-nine year old could also be fined up to $ 7, 500, says the Transportation Security Agency.

Analysis: I did further research on this and found that that the former basketball great released an apology commending the TSA's efforts for keeping air travel safe. Because he's nearly 80 years old, I believe Russel honestly forgot a weapon was in  his luggage. It should also be noted that he has a permit for gun, but weapons are still forbidden in airports. Hopefully next time, the Boston Celtics legend will double his bags before boarding a plane.
