Bodycam video shows Illinois man arrested after bringing loaded gun on plane
Body camera footage shows the moment Chicago police arrested a passenger armed with a loaded gun on a plane at O’Hare International Airport — just minutes before takeoff. Besnik Ismajlaj, 53, slipped through security with the weapon during a shift change at a TSA security checkpoint last month and boarded his flight with the Glock 9mm semiautomatic in his carry-on bag, according to police.
When the officers asked if he knew why they were there, he told them, “Yeah, it’s in my bag,” according to a police report “I forgot it,” he says to an officer once he’s off the plane and he’s placed in handcuffs, the clip shows. Ismajlaj appears calm and cooperative as the officers go through his backpack and find the pistol, according to the video.

A TSA agent acknowledged seeing the gun on the X-ray machine, but Ismajlaj reached inside, grabbed his bag and left for his flight before they could confiscate it, TSA officials said, according to CBS. Another traveler waiting in the security line also provided cops with a description of what the gun-toting passenger looked like.Once he was removed from the plane and placed under arrest, the video shows cops loading him into the back of a police van on the tarmac and taking him to a holding room where he’s read his Miranda rights.Cassie painfully recounts how she hid gashes, bruises from alleged brutal Diddy beatings: 'You treat me like you’re Ike Turner’South Carolina couple allowed infant twins to be 'eaten' by 'large rats': reportGrisly aftermath of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ brutal hotel attack on Cassie Ventura shown in never-before-seen photos‘Andor’ Season 2 Ending Explained: Showrunner Tony Gilroy Breaks Down Bix’s Surprise, Dedra’s Fate, and More ‘SNL’ Skewers Trump’s Latest Fox News Pick with Cecily Strong’s Return as Wine-Slinging Jeanine Pirro Patricia Clarkson Says She “Saw Everything” When She Walked In On Nude Justin Timberlake: “He’s Really Gifted”Jordon Hudson admits to identity 'erasure' while dating Bill Belichick as she confirms huge career move in emotional letter Cassie painfully recounts how she hid gashes, bruises from alleged brutal Diddy beatings: 'You treat me like you’re Ike Turner’
