The person checking the weapon must also have a proper permit.

Going to/from Alaska from Texas I’ve “checked” guns of all types (including pistols) many times.
I don’t know whether it’s just my good looks or what but they never even ask to look at the guns (which are in locked containers approved by FAA).
And, I’ve NEVER been ASKED for a “permit”.
” properly packed and unloaded, and declared at the check-in counter,”
So the package handlers can steal it easier.
Being delivered to a lonely lesbian with a large dog I am sure.
Feeling peckish?
Hitler : "My dog's got no nose !"
Wehrmacht soldier : "How does it smell ?"
Hitler : "Awful !"
A bit esurient.
I’d like to buy some cheese!
I thought cosmoline was hard to remove…
I carried a calibration instrument through TSA that is used to calibrate the air pressure and the force applied by dynamite drills. The nitrate traces set off the explosives alarm and the big lead-acid gel battery appeared as an opaque rectangle in the X-ray. I most surely was singled out for a closer look. After telling them what it was and how it is used, I just had to show them the screen light up and display a working menu. They declined my offer to open the front panel.
As I understand it, the guy was breaking the law simply by having possession of a handgun in New York, in his luggage or anywhere else without a NY handgun permit. There have been stories of passengers whose flights unexpectedly landed in NY being arrested when they picked up their luggage.
Had he flown from RI with a legally checked firearm, he could have changed planes in NY and been OK—as long as he didn’t have possession of the luggage. The fact that he hid the .22 in the peanut butter jars tells me he knew he was breaking the law and that he didn’t know that x-rays can see through peanut butter.
Could be slapped with a civil penalty of up to $15,000 or get a job with the feds he’d be a good set up guy.
