Re: TSA Approved Lock or Non-TSA Approved Lock?

Every airport I have been to has been slightly different. Some more of a hassle than others. Always allow more time for check in.

Re: TSA Approved Lock or Non-TSA Approved Lock?

Never an issue at Killeen Regional, DFW, Norfolk VA, Kansas City, Raliegh NC, Manhattan KS. Orlando was a PITA, but finally got through their hoops.

Did not fly with a firearm in Atlanta, but when they refused to accept my military retiree ID when I checked a bag and they asked for a "State Issued" ID, I pulled out my Texas LTC as it was on top of my DL. Agent went apoplectic and called the police. Took almost 30 minutes to PROVE that I did not have a gun with me. Finally got an apology from airline supervisor and PD. Agent was nowhere to be seen by then.

ONLY YOU may have the key/combination. TSA locks can be opened by anyone in TSA (and quite a few others). If TSA wants to inspect your firearm, YOU must open the case.

I have flown many, many times with firearms, though not in the last 2 years.
