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?
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.
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?

Related thread, has answers to some questions here plus name of perp.
My guess is that he intended to smuggle primers and a reloading press into Jamaica.
