When she put the duffle through an x-ray machine at security, a TSA official spotted the weapon and called police.
The 26-year-old is said to have insisted that while the bag was hers, she had no idea the gun was inside.
She claimed the weapon belonged to her boyfriend, according to police.
Miss McLaughlin, who was headed to Los Angeles, was jailed on a charge of carrying a firearm in a place prohibited by law.

The gun, a .45 caliber Colt revolver loaded with six hollow-point bullets, was immediately confiscated.
Authorities said the Playmate, who has been released from jail, has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Miss McLaughlin made headlines last year after she posed for a controversial shoot in her former university’s locker room.

The University of Central Florida had to apologise publicly for allowing her to be photographed scantily clad in the changing room.
The shoot was featured on the website of Axis magazine. Miss McLaughlin is set to be on the cover this month.
Last month, Miss McLaughlin also made the news after she backed Hugh Hefner, whose sexual prowess had been slammed by former fiancée Crystal Harris.
