Flew with my kit for the first time last week. I was a bit surprised at the lack of hoops to jump through. They asked me to open the case and asked me if it was unloaded. That was it. And with regards to the 11 pounds of ammo, it was a complete non-issue. They showed zero interest in the amount of ammo I had with me. Now, the one round I had in my backpack that showed up on the X-ray was another story. I was a little impressed by that actually. But they didn’t freak out or anything. The whole process was painless.
