That's always been my understandingRebel wrote:I'm late to the show, but just wanted to verify that the actual container holding the firearm is only to be opened by the owner, the TSA guys are never to have access to the keys/combo to those locks. So that means no TSA locks.

Re: Traveling with gun...TSA experience this week
Oh, and this is what I use when checking a firearm. I don't own an AR yet, so I'm not sure if it would accommodate one; I'm sure it would have to be broken down into upper & lower, though. Have yet to have a problem with security that couldn't be overcome w. a smile & a request for a supervisor.

This is new information to me. Do you have a link to the new regulations?ELB wrote:That used to be true, but not any more. It changed last year sometime. You can still use your own lock, but you can also use the TSA ones now.jordanmills wrote:You aren't supposed to use the TSA locks on firearms baggage, IIRC. They don't trust their own people enough for that.
