A word to the wise:

Checked baggage containing legally declared and transported, locked, cased firearms will be searched, completely, down to the pharm bottles, nooks/crannies, even socks and underwear.

Rifle cases containing firearms are given a much less stringent inspection.

I witnessed this firsthand and confirmed with the contracted employee performing searches. It changes my MO.

Case inside suitcase = dangerous. Case alone = OK

Maybe this is news only to me, but I mention it to those who may not be aware.

One advantage of stupidity is that it gives us a measurement against which we can compare common sense, if not intelligence.
