He also would have been allowed to transport the item had he packed it properly in his checked baggage, the TSA said.

OH?
I’m not so sure.

Maybe if the checked baggage exam did not find it, maybe.
I think that’s more walk on than carry on.
How did he disguise the bump stock?
I always stash my pen gun inside the shaft of my prosthetic leg.
I am AMAZED he was not arrested, like he would be, if he’d had any other gun.
No, it lacked a bayonet attachment and it was Silver, not scary Black.
Why are they watching a blank screen?
“The pen gun discovered at Logan Airport was a .22 caliber firearm which folded open to the shape of a pistol,”
I know it is frowned on here to actually read the entire article here at FreeRepublic but:
The term “pen gun,” according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, is generally used to describe any firearm designed “to look like an ink pen.” They were also more widely used around the turn of the 20th Century for self-defense purposes, according to the FBI’s October 2018 “Artifact of the Month” entry.
There is a picture of the pen gun in question at the link.

“Oh, sorry, I thought that was my pen flamethrower. I’m always mixing those up.”
Who sells these pen guns? Asking for a friend.
I’ve seen reference to pen guns and pictures elsewhere. I believe they wee more modern versions.
