I travel with my firearms frequently. Either to attend training or to conduct it.
My travel is in and out of NY (since this is where I live) so I suspect that if anyone is gonna be caught up in BS rules it's going to me and folks like me living here in New Yorkistan.
My experiences thus far have shown that the points Jason makes are all correct and that the TSA lock topic (for me) has been that they DO NOT require it. AS long as the container the weapon is in is locked they have not required it be a TSA or any other specific type.
Here is another experience: Frequently I am upgraded to 1st class seating once I am on the plane. I don't know if it's a coincidence to my travel with a weapon or what but it never happened prior to my starting to and not once if I was traveling without a weapon.
The other thing I noticed is my bags are ALWAYS the first off the plane at my destination. Again maybe a coincidence I'm not sure but it's a noticeable occurrence.
Just my experience and not sure how it fits.
