Try traveling with firearms sometime. And after the Orlando airport shooting it is even more bizarre. The TSA agents tear my luggage apart looking for bad things. A suppressor really makes them inquisitive.
I can’t imagine what you go through to do that.
I get pissed at them with just the normal questioning.
I made it on the extra-security list back in 2003 for questioning why obvious Middle Easterners were being waved through while a young family of five was having their stuff torn apart.
I had just been at a coal mine where they had been blasting and my boots had picked up traces of Ammonium Nitrate. They put them through the sniffer after I told them off and then the fun began.
It was when I started driving more.
