I got stopped in TSA with a Case XX 6.5” Folding Hunter in a bag that had like 20 zippered pockets.
You would have thought they caught a bank robber in the act!
But based on my reaction, I guess, the TSA guy took me aside and handed it back to me and said I could take it to my car. When I said I didn’t have time, he whispered that I should take it to the airport police and have them put it in their lost and found with my name on it!
Two weeks later, when I got back, I went to the lost and found and sure enough it was there! I got a few strange looks from the officer that handed it to me but all was good!!
This was in Cincinnati. Your results may differ significantly in a blue airport.
Most places they would arrest you, I kid you not.
