Are you saying they can't put a standard luggage tag on bags containing a firearm? How will the ground crew know how to route it?JayStation3 wrote:tbrown wrote:If they're only tagging bags with guns that way, you're correct they're violating federal law.

If you're flying into ABE, a checked firearm should be a non issue, particularly compared to PHL.
The federal law states specifically that "a bag containing a firearm may not be labeled, tagged or marked in anyway".
I have a gps tracker. It will be accompanied with my firearm. I won't be loosing anything :)
