No one would "hear" you and if they did, the chance they would misunderstand you would be VERY HIGH! Just follow orders and try not to over complicate the issue.

[Thread Drift]There's no need for you to reveal it... the ticket agents do that for you now by putting "very important luggage" (or some other phrase to indicate there's something worth stealing in there) tags on bags that contain checked firearms. At some airlines/airports, anyway... there was a thread about it either here or at sigforum.com a while ago.[/Thread Drift]

Lots of passengers are walking around on the tarmac. Some are sitting there with their luggage.

If I'm in that group, there is NO WAY that I'm accepting my luggage on the tarmac. If I've flown in, then my checked firearm is in my checked baggage. If I have that checked baggage in my possession on that tarmac, inside the secure area, then I'm breaking the law.

Just a reminder that as law-abiding carriers, we need to maintain our situational awareness, and avoid the temptation to take possession of our items until we're in an area where we're allowed to do so.
