Packing

Former Chicago cop and Law & Order star, Dennis Farina, currently appearing in What Happens in Vegas, was taken into custody yesterday when screeners at LAX found a loaded handgun in his carry-on as he was about to board a plane. The 64-year-old told airport police and FBI agents that he'd forgotten he put the .22-caliber semi-automatic weapon in the briefcase, then spent most of the day in a Van Nuys jail until he was released on $35,000 bail. "He was apologetic and very cooperative," said an airport cop, "and he said he understood what was going to happen." (LA Times; photo: Richard Perry/NYT)
