[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1112319, member: 10291"] I think that it is wise to pack both guns and ammo as "conventionally" as is possible. Fact is, even if you are within the regulations, if you deviate from what the majority of traveling hunters/shooters practice, the TSA are likely to investigate it. Many of them are untrained or unfamiliar with the regs, and many times just plain bored. I don't pack ammo in my gun case, and use factory/cardboard ammo boxes(even if a different cartridge) packed in a fanny pack within my duffel/luggage. I also use TSA locks on my duffel/bag, padlocks on my gun case which is not likely to get rechecked if there is just a gun/accessories in it. Keep your binoculars/rangefinders with you in your carry on. Once they get inspired to "just" check out your bag or case you run the risk of delayed baggage or missed flights. Most problems occur after your baggage leaves you and goes down the ramp. You are at their mercy at this point. IMO. [/QUOTE]
