gun in checked bag. Got it. Picks up checked baggage at baggage claim. Got it. Gets gun out of baggage. Got it. Goes to bathroom and loads gun. Don’t got it! Where did he get the ammo??? Was it left for him in the bathroom by someone else?
A preplanned cache in an open area?
Occam’s Razor: the ammo was checked along with the gun.
You can carry up to a certain amount of ammo in checked baggage.
May be a gap in their security thinking, methinks.
Here's an idea: Make them pick the guns and ammo up from a TSA agent who interviews them at least as stringently as he does the Little Old Lady. Ask him what he does with the gun. Go El Al on him.
Come on TSA and airport cops! Stop phoning it in.
it’s legal to fly with ammo, providing its in it’s original case or a padded ammo holder and locked in a box that only you the traveler can open. The weapon also has to be in a tsa approved locking case that again only you can open. when you get to the airport you must check it in and fill out the forms to transport a firearm in checked baggage. I fly all the time for work and carry 2 firearms and over a hundred rounds of ammo regularly. Florida is one of the few states that bans carry in baggage claim. most states once you are outside the federal Tsa security zones which baggage claim is your chl license kicks in and you can carry. neyney in Florida it’s a gun free zone until you leave the terminal entirely. I typically load up in the bathroom of baggage claim in states where my license allows me to do so then proceeded to rebtal car shuttles. Florida is on my no go list if I have to go I drive never fly.
