Good point! Bullets...

... would be pretty ineffective without brass, primers and powder.
hm... I honestly think the TSA goes too far in most instances...
but
I don’t think people should be allowed to carry on pieces to a gun. Even if each seperate piece is harmless in itself, who’s to say that 5 other passengers have all the “other” pieces. Each of which is harmless by itself, but could be assembled once on the plane. I guess you would still need bullets... but I guess one could make the arguement that even bullets by themselves (without a gun) are just paper weights too!
Problem is, a lot of things could be parts to a gun, if one wanted to get fancy about it. You can’t protect from every possible conspiracy, nor should you try.
Keeping a rifle part off a plane is stupid. Especially when the person with it is clearly not a muslim, nor do they have any swastika tatoos.
Give me a choice to ride in a plane where anyone can carry firearms vs. a plane where it is prohibited and I’d choose the “armed” plane every time. No boxcutter wielding suicide hijacker would succeed on such a ride. Nor if he and his cohorts were carrying pistols either.
Very few people can realize that disarming good folks doesn’t make anything “safe”.
Loss of liberty is loss of liberty, not fine tuning of a perfect society.
Hell people should be able to carry firearms on planes. Shall not be infringed.
Me neither, I think we should be allowed to carry our own legal, loaded guns on board.
Does your handle indicate that you once flew over Texas, back in 2009?
BATF only recognizes the serial-numbered part (usually the receiver) as the "firearm". I don't see why TSA shouldn't follow the same guidance.
