[QUOTE="c-ne-elk, post: 1152578, member: 33799"] On when to lock your gun case: When you check in at the ticket counter, before they even ask you, tell them that you have an unloaded firearm and ammunition to declare. They will give you a tag that you have to sign and put inside your gun case. Once this tag is in your gun case, you can close and lock your gun case. The ticket agent will then send your gun on the luggage belt back to the TSA agents in the back room. You will need to hang around the ticket counter for 5 to 10 minutes once your gun case disappears while TSA runs it through their x-ray machine. They may or may not want to have you open the gun case. If they do, they will call up to the ticket counter and ask you for the key or have you come back to open it. Once they have done their inspection and all is ok, they will let the ticket agent know and you can leave the ticket counter area. If you have not heard in about 10 minutes from checking it in, ask the ticket agent to check on it for you. They sometimes forget to let you know when they are busy. When you get to your destination, rifles are not usually delivered with regular baggage. Normally they are in the oversize baggage area and they often make you show them an ID in order to claim it. I just read an article by Craig Boddington in this months Sports Afield on the 10 commandments of traveling (flying) for hunting. It's a good accurate read of you can locate a copy. [/QUOTE]
