[QUOTE="Bigdog425, post: 1637430, member: 8928"] In short, I recommend NOT removing bolt (not required, but some airports will make you open bolt to show it’s unloaded - before going over to TSA inspection). Longer response, and with due respect, there are not one set of rules to follow. I fly several times a year with guns to various states and have flown international. TSA has their rules and each airport manages differently (and changes are frequent). In Houston, even different terminals of IAH have different rules. TSA can open your gun case without you present (whole point of TSA locks). Most airports allow non-TSA locks but as stated by others make you either stand by and watch them inspect before final close or wait until they x-ray in the back and determine they do/don’t want to open for further inspection. My experience is if they open and inspect most airports will remove the foam so loose bolt not good IMHO. If not using TSA locks, arrive extra early as it may take longer, eg having to go to a diff terminal for non-TSA locks. PS: Best of luck in hunting abroad, and also know the rules for ice and dry ice on your specific airline...the rules/fees vary significantly. Cheers [/QUOTE]
