In Alex Kava’s book, Breaking Creed, written in 2015, she wrote the same scenario with cocaine instead of guns.
Dummy just now learning about metal detectors? What a weirdo.
His big mistake was using Jif instead of Skippy.

A whole new meaning to chunky!
He was arrest led in a Jiffy.
He was arrested in a Jiffy.
Must have the proper permit?
Do I just attach a copy of the second amendment?
Given New York’s lax bail laws, I’m sure he will be out of jail in a jif.
Idiotic headline. The peanut butter jars didn’t set anything off. The concealed contents did.
What many people don't realize is that every single thing in their bag is observable, even a matchbook. So there is no way in hell you're going to get away with smuggling something in your carry-on baggage......
Years ago, I put fudge made and sold by Mount Angel Abbey, Oregon, in my carry-on luggage. It was seen in the x-ray machine as an impervious object, looking metallic. Once the TSA officer figured out what was he was seeing on x-ray, he looked puzzled and asked me where I got it.
When I said that I had just bought it in the airport gift shop, right beside the security station, he just replaced the fudge in my bag and waved me through.
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.
I thought cosmoline was hard to remove…
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.
