I cheated (you should know that)! I don't get back until tomorrow and then leave for Boston on Sunday.
Wow! I signed the card and I even asked if they wanted me to open the case and they said no, not unless somehing looks wrong when they scan it. I did have the slide off, the barrel and recoil spring out, and no mags nor rounds in the case, so it should have been pretty easy to see that it wasn't "loaded".
