The one charged couple flew out of Will Rogers in OKC. There is an ongoing investigation as to how those rounds got through TSA. Turks and Caicos has been of record in the last 6 months as being intolerant of offenses in this area. Previously offenders paid a fine and were allowed to leave the country. A judge there has decided to crack down on the offenders. I fly out of Will Rogers frequently and will again next week. It is nice to have a bit of friendly faces at our local airport but I wouldn't want anyone on my flight to have a banned item on their person. Humans make mistakes and there were several in this scenario.One of those locked up had live ammo in his backpack. I'm trying to figure out how they got through TSA security in the states?
Hard to figure. Going through the airport in Eugene OR awhile ago with a brother, had a P-38 can opener in his wallet from fishing/ camping, TSA caught that. That is a small scrap of metal!One of those locked up had live ammo in his backpack. I'm trying to figure out how they got through TSA security in the states?
I just know of one too many many guys who "just knew" they had gotten everything prohibited out of their bag... until they found out they hadn't.I don't see any problem using the same gear for flights as you use for hunting.
You just need to check your equipment and know what is going on.
But in today's world I can understand not wanting to be responsible and knowing what is in your baggage.
TSA has an absolutely abysmal failure rate when tested. Conde Nast published an article indicating a 70% failure rate.One of those locked up had live ammo in his backpack. I'm trying to figure out how they got through TSA security in the states?
Happened to me flying through IAH. Live round, primer dented fell through a small hole in my bino harness and got wedged under the fabric and lining. I was pig hunting at night, it didn't go off so I wanted to save it and look at it in the light. Made it through TSA 3 times that trip in my carry-on backpack due to needing to exit and unlock my gun case, before it was caught in Doha ...One of those locked up had live ammo in his backpack.
