kevin c Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 So I am going somewhere bad on a chartered flight, I hand the scanner dude my M16A2 and walk through, the light beeps, I have a leatherman knife/multi tool in my back pocket, I am told I cant get on plane with the leatherman I have to check it. I stick it in a friends duffel bag who just arrived, They hand me back my rifle and tell me to have a nice flight. Some friends of mine were considering getting a charter out to TX for the Double Tap, for exactly that reason - walk on with everything, guns and the like (ammo too?) w/o the hassle of going through the standard routine. Funny about the scanner and the multitool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I agree that a holster is not, or, more exactly should not, be an issue. I should have clarified that I just called the airline in advance w/ the question, trying to streamline my check-in process -Yes, that is different than saying to the counter person in a high, panicked voice, "Oh my Gawd,I have a gun holder thing right here in my bag, do you think that is still illegal?"Did Maui TSA paw over your gun? Each time I have flown back from Maui, they insist on opening the case, taking it out, holding it, poking around the foam as if looking for hidden produce, and generally rubbing their snot on my stuff. Nowhere else I have flown into or from does that. I just opened the case to show them the piece - no handling on their part, but they did personally escort me and the bag to the TSA scanner.
