New gun policy at American Airlines

[KestrelBike]

I just flew AA yesterday (and the week before that) and didn't have any issues.... wonder when that policy's supposed to take effect.

ETA: Also something a bit weird, but worked out just fine, was that at my first flight I went up to the booking desk and declared my firearm, she had me put the signature-tag in, and I immediately locked my case (non-tsa locks, of course) and she told me I was good to go. I asked her "But what about TSA? In case they want to inspect inside and will not be able to open my non-TSA locks?" and she told me it wasn't necessary and to go ahead. She had this orange "PRIORITY" tag sandwiched into the fold of the normal baggage tag, and when I got to my final destination (two AA flights with the connecting in DFW) my case was 5th on the carousel belt (normally it's dead last, or I have to go to the "Lost Items" dept because they've identified it by appearance as a firearms case, and want people to show ID before they can take it, which I'm honestly OK with.

I fly with a Pelican case, but have a bicycle company sticker on there and no gun-stickers.
