Re: Don't put empty magazines in your carry on...

Jumping Frog wrote:A month ago I flew from Columbus back to Houston with a box of 500 Ranier bullets in my carry-on. They freaked out when they saw it on the xray machine, opened my bag, called the supervisor, etc.

I pointed out it was not ammunition, just unloaded bullets.

They swabbed that whole part of my bag for explosives and didn't find any.

I was very glad they didn't swab the part of the bag that held the powder measure I was also bringing. Seeing as it has had at least 100 lbs of smokeless gunpowder through, I was fairly certain it would swab as positive for explosives. :anamatedbanana

After all the excitement was over, they let me proceed to the plane with my luggage. :tiphat:
At that point they are no more dangerous than a bunch of small rocks. :woohoo
