New gun policy at American Airlines

[Jer]

Some airports have different methods of firearm handling and some simply scan it real quick to make sure it looks fine in the scan. These airports will either page you to a certain location if they should need to open or even have you wait ten minutes near the check-in before leaving for security. BWI in Baltimore is one example of the latter.

Reading this thread reminds me of why I print the TSA page on traveling with firearms and fold it up and put it in a back pocket EVERY time we fly. Makes educating a TSA agent on the proper method of doing their job a lot easier and lot less argumentative.

Yup, DIA TSA took my luggage to their scanner, with me in the presence, on the way back Burbank actually scanned and searched my luggage behind the scenes.
