I hope you got the names of the screeners and supervisors, that was a violation of TSA procedures and protocols and should be reported. It is not TSA's job to be looking for firearms or other weapons in checked bags and if the scanner passed the bag, then the screener running the machine is obligated to ignore the gun.F_L wrote:I flew SW a couple of weeks ago from San Antonio to Houston. Declared the firearm to the ticket agent and TSA . The TSA agent did not relay that info to person running the scanner and he freaked out. "There is a WEAPON in that bag!" Supervisors were called and it took a few minutes to satisfy them that it was correctly declared, packed and unloaded. They ask if I was with a government agency. I laughed and told them no, just a chl holder that carried everywhere it's legal.
There was about a 10 min delay that should have been avoided, but not a big deal.
