I believe TSA considers magazines to be "firearm components", which they technically are, so you're not really supposed to get through screening with them.MechAg94 wrote:Another possibility is to simply empty the magazines and dump the ammo in some trash. All you have then are empty magazines which shouldn't be seen as dangerous. Not sure how easy it would be to empty them and throw away the ammo without someone seeing you. Mail the mags to yourself before flying back.
I guess it really depends on how much time you have.

They stole your tactical knife and pen? You should definitely file a complaint and a claim with the airline if you didn't get them back...rtschl wrote:Last flight I took in February, my carry on laptop bag got searched for both flights and I was told on the return that it was because of the change I had in the full coin wallet that I grabbed from my car. I asked why that was a problem and was told I shouldn't carry so much change.doncb wrote: Got pulled out of line because of a small jar of change. Was told I needed to leave my change at home.
Same trip, TSA removed a tactical knive and pen from my checked luggage but left my swiss army knife. Both were legal to have in checked baggage per what I could find on TSA website and have not had a problem any other time I had them in checked luggage.
