[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2795226, member: 3230"] I echo the sentiment of those who said not to use TSA locks. I have had my locks cut off twice by TSA - once when I was returning from a hunt in Canada - I had a long layover in DEN and took my brother to dinner, so was not around to hear them announce my name. If TSA cuts your locks, they will replace them with TSA locks. I typically put a few extra locks in my gun case. Someone said every hole has to have a lock; the last time I flew Delta they did indeed insist on that. I am elite for life on two airlines, so I never pay for checked baggage, so can't answer that question. As those who have travelled with guns outside the US know, you must register them at a US Customs office using form 4457. The last two times I flew back from Africa I went through ATL; they customs guys there didn't just want to see your 4457, they entered your serial numbers in a computer - supposedly to make sure they were not stolen. I complained loudly both times, pointing out that if Customs really wanted to see if my guns were stolen, they would have done that when I registered them at their PHX airport office. [/QUOTE]
