A New Hampshire man was arrested on charges of illegal weapons possession after TSA X-ray screeners at Logan Airport noticed two antique guns in a carry-on bag, according to Massachusetts State Police.

Brent Cameron, 44, of New London, NH, was released on personal recognizance at his arraignment in East Boston District Court, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

According to State Police:

At 0743 hours Trooper Joseph Stanford was dispatched to at TSA security checkpoint in Terminal E at Logan International Airport, where he was advised that an x-ray machine detected two images that looked like handguns in a carry-on bag. Trooper James Savage, who also responded, searched the bag and observed two handguns. The guns were determined to be antique .22 caliber Derringer pistols. The owner of the bag and guns, BRENT M. CAMERON, told Troopers that he had purchased the guns at an auction last week and claimed not to have known they were in the bag. The man was further asked if he had a license to carry, and stated that he did not have a license and did not need one in New Hampshire.

The guns were unloaded, police said.

Innocent, etc.

THURSDAY UPDATE: The Licensing Board voted to let the two restaurants re-open. However, it set Roast Beast's closing time at 7 p.m. - owners had asked for midnight.

The Boston Licensing Board ordered Roast Beast on Comm. Ave. and the Millennium Restaurant and Grill on Washington Street to shut today because they don't have licenses to serve food.

Owners of both restaurants told the board they opened after the city's Inspectional Services Department told them they could open as soon as they passed health inspections. Roast Beast opened last month; Millennium six months ago. Wrong: Restaurants also need a "common victualer's" license, which only the Boston Licensing Board doles out, Board Chairwoman Nicole Murati Ferrer told them.

In both cases, the shutdown could be short - the board votes tomorrow morning on their requests for a common victualer's license. Ferrer told the owners of Millennium to think of today as a vacation day.

However, the issue could be more complicated for Roast Beast because, unlike Millennium, it has not met with the local civic association, which the board normally requires before approving a license. Representatives from both the mayor's office and district City Councilor Mark Ciommo said Allston Civic Association President Paul Berkeley indicated he would have no problems with the 7 p.m. closing originally proposed by Roast Beast. However, restaurant attorney Richard Lawton - whose wife and son are actually running the place - said the family wants the right to stay open until midnight, for the odd summer night when business is good enough to support that.

Lawton apologized for not having met with the civic association. As a South Shore resident, he said he was caught completely unawares by Boston restaurant rules and regulations, and that his wife took an ISD worker at his word that a health inspection was all she needed to open.

As in Boston, communities on the South Shore and the rest of the state require restaurants to obtain food-serving licenses. Unlike, Boston, however, the rest of the state's cities and towns do not have a licensing board appointed by the governor that operates independently from the city.
