“Its declared on check-in and Ive never had a problem.”
Bet you didn’t do that in NYC!
Well actually I go through TSA security with my government issue Glock. I’m an FFDO. However when I land at LaGarbage and have to RON my gun is locked up in the main crew quarters.
So long as I’m behind the TSA security point i.e. in the main concourse or out on the flight line/tarmac NYC can go pound sand.
