THank's I'm flying AA. They don't specify one way or the other that ammo has to be separate. Only that it's preferred that it be in the original box, which it is...in the case with the firearm.
Here's my setup. Think this will be okay?

I'm actually flying to Michigan on Wednesday and will be taking my firearm for the first time. I read up on all the TSA rules as well as Michigan's CPL laws (pretty similar to Texas for the most part). Do you have to cable your case to the inside of your suitcase? I didn't read that anywhere.
TSA clearly says that you can keep your ammo in the same locked case as the unloaded firearm, yet when I called DFW, they said I had to have the ammo and gun in SEPARATE locked cases. I don't have an Ammo lock box nor room, so I'm planning on taking everything in one case. I got a cool Pelican case at Cabela's.

So when I go to check in, do I just tell the ticket agent that I need to fill out a declaration of a firearm and let them take it from there?
Do they mark the outside of your suitcase as containing a firearm? I'm not sure how I feel about that.
