A Washington state senator was arrested at the airport in Hong Kong and charged with possession of an unregistered firearm, his office said.
Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview, was detained at Hong Kong International Airport on Friday night after he found a pistol in his carry-on bag and reported it to customs officials.
He was released on bail Sunday and faces a hearing Oct. 30.

It’s so weird to think about that now, how very normal it seemed at the time.
The big difference being about 5 billion more people on the planet since then and now.
