reading a story about someone getting caught with a gun in their carry-on by the TSA made me wonder......
if i disassemble a semi-auto and put the frame and slide in my checked baggage and keep the barrel in my carry-on, will the TSA get their panties in a wad as the barrel only goes thru the x-ray machine?
why do i ask? you have to declare your checked and safed weapon and they mark the bag.....making it an easy target for dishonest baggage handlers. without the barrel, the frame and slide are useless. the barrel without the slide or frame is useless.
add on to this, what if you put a cable lock thru the removed barrel and then have it in your carry on?
what say you, the more knowledgeable firearms travelers?
