Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The airport search of the defendant's "carry-on luggage" by means of an X-ray machine was reasonable and constitutionally permissible given the evident danger to the public, the overwhelming governmental interest, and the minimal invasion into personal privacy (see, People v. Brown, 113 A.D.2d 893; see also, People v. Price, 54 N.Y.2d 557, 563-564; People v. Kuhn, 33 N.Y.2d 203, 209-210). Thus, the hearing court did not err in denying the defendant's motion to suppress the gun found in that luggage. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Thompson and Brown, JJ., concur.
