Delta Air Lines wont allow travelers flying to the airports serving the Washington metropolitan area to check firearms on flights ahead of President-elect Joe Bidens inauguration, CEO Ed Bastian told CNBC on Thursday.

The new policy, which starts this weekend and runs through next week, comes after last weeks deadly pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol and a spate of politically motivated disturbances on flights and at airports. Law enforcement authorized to carry firearms will be exempt.

Were all on high alert based on the events over the last couple of weeks in Washington, Bastian said in an interview on Squawk Box.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it will take a zero tolerance policy for travelers who are unruly or interfere with flight crew duties, fining them up to $35,000.

Airlines, airports and hotels are ramping up security ahead of Wednesdays inauguration. Several airports said they will add more police, while airlines are increasing staffing and booking overnighting crews at airport hotels. American Airlines said late Wednesday it will suspend alcohol sales for D.C. flights.

The only real risk of firearm in checked luggage is the baggage handlers likely breaking it.

Someone intending to cause harm is not going to be flying there anyway. That's too easy to track and investigate.

Many people who stormed the capitol took pictures and video of themselves doing it on their cell phones.
