Busted At Airport: Michael Moore's Bodyguard

And You'll Never Guess Why

Authorities at JFK Airport in New York say a sometimes-bodyguard for controversial filmmaker Michael Moore was arrested Wednesday night. The charge? Carrying an unlicensed handgun.

Patrick Burk, 34, reportedly told a United Airlines ticket agent that he wanted to carry his weapon -- unloaded and in a bag -- on a flight from New York to Los Angeles. When questioned by authorities he produced documents showing he was licensed to carry the weapon in California and Florida... but not in New York.

Moore, of course, directed the controversial anti-gun film "Bowling for Columbine." A Moore spokeswoman contacted by 1010 WINS Radio in New York had nothing to say about the incident.
