By luggage, I am assuming you mean Grandma’s bra, right?

How in the hell do Bullet Primers just spontaneously explode?Well, you toss the suitcase they are in from the cargo area of the plane, out onto the tarmac.

...do Bullet Primers just spontaneously explode? Yeah, all those (billions and billions) of primers contained in cartridges sitting on the shelves of Wal-Mart and thousand of other stores??? Must be like nitro, donnchano.

TSA Misses Luggage That Explodes After Flight Hey, give the TSA credit where it is due - they were sure on the ball in thoroughly checking my 14-month old son's sippy cup!
To: null and void
I want a job as a TSA inspector, you don’t have to do anything and get paid for it. My kind of job.

A checked bag on a flight from Boston to Miami contained hundreds of bullet primers that exploded on the tarmac after the plane arrived in south Florida. 100 primers come in a box smaller than a CD jewel case.

Well...did they detain the 37 year-old Jamaican "naturalized citizen" or not....or is he down under a palm tree by now studying up on how to become a U.S. president?

I think it would be a Barbie suitcase, about the size of your big toe.

Any EOD types out there? Seems like primers have to be struck to "go off" and doubtful that one or two primers would cause others to spark. I'll bet you could take a box of 500 and hit it with a hammer and it would cause minimal problems if they all went off.
Primers and small arms ammunition are a Class C, DOT, transportable device. Hunters are allowed to pack ammunition in limited quantities in their checked baggage, and do so all the time, so I don't really see what the problem is.
Guns are permitted in a lockable transport container and carried on aircraft all the time. Did the citizen forget to declare he had primers in his bag?

If it DID happen, something very freak went on here.Nah. According to the news it's common. Like 'accidental gun firing'.
Seems primers explode, and bullets fire themselves from guns all the time. Many SUV's have run down and killed people, or thrown their riders out to their deaths.

I'm not a re-loader, so ....
Do primers come in plastic baggies or something?

I should have read further down to your post.
The story sounds BS, now.

The system worked.
The 37 year old had his gonads searched thoroughly and no suspect items were found.

The TSA is stepping all over the Constitution, is a huge waste of money and is totally ineffective. Pistole should be fired and jailed. And take Janet while their at it too. And whatever joker is the head of the FCC, can’t remember his name.

***I’m picturing a miniature suitcase bulging with hundreds of primers.***
1000 primers will fit in a box 2 inches X 2 inches 6 inches long. Some boxes are smaller.
In a box, if one primer pops the the rest will go off due to what is called “sympathetic detonation”.

The bag belongs to a 37-year-old man, said to be a naturalized U.S. citizen, who was scheduled to catch a connecting flight to Jamaica. One question that hasn't seem to have gotten asked. Jamaica, part of the British Commonwealth, same some of the strictest gun control laws around.
What was he doing bringing PRIMERS to JAMAICA?
