Don't put empty magazines in your carry on

Nice,

I got held up over 4 pocket knifes at TSA, you would have thought they were going to tase me when I tried to show them where they were in the bag. That is what I get for not checking my bags before leaving for the airport. They were left over groomsmen's gifts from my wedding the day prior. I got to watch as they probably devided up those $65 a peice knifes amongst themselves.

Try flying into Dubai with any sort of weapons part and you get fucking ARRESTED.

One of these days, I am going to cheaper than dirt, getting one of their cheap $7.97 AR-15 mags (maybe a tapco AK-47 since AK's are satans right hand weapon)

Toss it in there and just watch the ensuing fun. Better bring lube though for the cavity search...

Knowing this, you're going to do it. Odd.

Well, this happened to me on Thursday. Had my gun all packed and locked in my suitcase along with the ammo and checked that in. I was using my range bag for my carry on and didn't think twice about the magazines. No bullets, no worries, not a working part of a firearm, right? Wrong.

Bag goes through the x-ray. Guy stops the whole line. Calls his line supervisor, who looks and then calls the shift supervisor. That fat moron then asks me if I was a hunter and if I had any clips in my bag. I said no, and I have 5 empty magazines in my bag. She then goes back and opens another x-ray to keep the security line moving, takes my bag and rummages through it (magazines are on outside pocket). I tell her where the magazines are, she takes them out and put the bag to the side, then takes me to the side and asks for ID. She then calls for a LEO AND then some head TSA supervisor who shows up in a suit and tie. LEO shows up and the same woman hands over the magazines to the LEO. LEO looks at them and goes, "They're unloaded." Looks at me, shrugs the shoulders as no big deal and leaves. TSA fatty then jots down all my information on a blank piece of paper and asks for my phone number. Then her and the suit and tie guy places the magazines on a table, with a ruler, and takes pictures of them. Finally she informs me these are "firearm parts" and are banned from carry on. Ok, can I have them back to check in? She escorts me out and hands the magazines and my bag to me. I then put them in my bag and pay American Airlines the extra $35 for a second checked bag. I gleefully waved hello to fatty TSA supervisor as I went back through security and on my way to the gate.

I heard this a long time ago, get a Fedex mylar packing envelope and fill out to to your home address and COD (or fedex account). And keep it in your carry on bag if you find crap that you want to keep then you can easily pack up the items and have them shipped.

I don't recall seeing fedex drop boxes in most of the airports I've been at though.

Right, but they won't send them? I must be missing something.

Just give them to a 6 year old girl and she should be good to go.

Not sure if there is sarcasm her, but I've seen as young if not younger screened heavily. White ones too.

Give them to a towlie. They'll get waved on through.
