This is free advice:
Be sure to remove all unspent ammunition from your backpack before entering the airport and stepping into the security line 
Hey, it happens. It wasn’t a big deal, not so long ago.
Been there, done that–twice. You haven’t lived until you’ve been listed in a police report as a “subject,” right? 
It’s not too big a deal, but it did take 10-20 minutes to clear up, for me. Before 9-11 they just threw the round out, now they fill out forms…
speaking from personal experience?:eek:
Next time you see him, you will notice the difference in his stride:eek:
Damned B***** kids, always getting themselves into trouble 
Well T****, will the TAP FPD blow up my SAR-8 or not? I just need to get one round off, to kill a coyote…I want to see how well that stuff works.
AFAIK, it shouldn’t blow it up. However, are you sure it’s sighted in right
BTW, what model, caliber, and bbl length AI do you want?
AWSM please, in .338. This country could use a few more AI dealers, BTW.
And it’s sighted in well enough to hit a coyote at 50 meters…thats all I need.
Yeah it took about 10-15 minutes and I was on my way. The ran a “wanted” on me, took a picture of it with my drivers license, told me to expect a letter from the TSA and that I shouldn’t do it again.
I’m a Blaster. I have been stopped many times for having Explosives Residue on me or my luggage.
One time in LA Airport they made me stand on a box while a National Gaurd guy held me at rifle point while they searched my bags.
I didn’t get upset. It was only a few months after 9-11. But it made me kind of nervous that the guy kept pointing his rifle at me. I don’t know if it was loaded or not.
Ouch!
I would have been more than a little upset about that.
To bad there aint a thing that can be done about it.
Tip #2) Make sure you check your bags because your friends think its funny to put box cutters in your carry-on just to see you get shaken down by security.
Damn, with friends like yours who needs enemies?
ATL TSA has no sense of humor.
