[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1637548, member: 26227"] As someone whom has carried and traveled with guns for the past 25 years for various reasons. This is what I do with my bolt in my pelican cases. I do take the bolt out, put the bolt in a sturdy plastic box, lay it in a secure place under a flap in the foam that velcros down so as not to loose it. My plastic box also has small tools for the gun in it as well. Recently I have been told by TSA agents that "TSA approved Locks" has ended. The lock must not be able to be opened by TSA so that you must be present when the case is unlocked and opened. The reason was something about theft of guns and expensive optics and stuff we put in our cases. Yes, I have had expensive locks cut off my cases midstream on a layover. I complained and they fired the idiot that cut the locks off. TSA it seems has had a policy change and a procedure change. Only the owner of the gun can open the case. They place a "TSA" Medallion in the case next to the gun where it can be seen by a scanner. I agree with this policy change. This is at RNO (Reno/Tahoe International air port) that I heard this. I suggest you check with your local TSA office or the Airlines you are flying on. Their policies might be slightly different.
