While departing Albuquerque this year with my rifle packed in my Tuff-Pac the TSA group had to call the local police to determine if it was un-loaded. This took about 1 hour for a police officer to arrive and make an visual inspection of the rifle. You could tell the officer was not happy when they left the security room after the inspection.
I pack my bolt Rifle in a soft case in the Tuff-Pac the bolt is removed and located in the side pouch on the soft case. I was asked to wait at the counter while the case was being inspected. I was later informed that a Police officer need to be called to verify that the rifle was safe an unloaded.
I have my bag all set up for the zipper on the case to be opened and the rifle will slide right out of the case. When we landed in Jo'Berg, i knew that my case was dumped out and items were placed in hap hazard. This resulted in my having to re-sight my rifle in camp. 1st time the sight in had move on a safari.
Just a little heads up for travelers.
