Boston Logan International Airport saw the shortest average wait time to get through security in the country during the busy summer travel season, according to the TSA, which named Logan its airport of the year.

Logan also has been one of several airports named as an “innovation airport,” and has piloted a new security scanning system. Boston TSA also found a record number of guns, the TSA said, an increase of 35.7 percent.

“The TSA team here in Boston consists of nearly 1,500 employees from frontline TSA officers to inspectors, canine handlers, explosives experts, managers, program analysts and a host of others who work together every single day of the year to ensure that we protect the travelling public to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce,” said Bob Allison, TSA’s federal security director for Massachusetts. “The TSA officers and the others who comprise our team demonstrate their commitment daily through their hard work, professionalism and integrity.”

In a statement, Massport said it has “a great partnership with the TSA to make sure that our customers have a safe and efficient experience.”
