What I do wrt to firearms & ammo, I go to the respective airlines' website as well as TSA and print their own rules. Two copies. One goes in my duffle bag the other in my rifle case with the requisite portions highlighted in yellow. I had this issue one time and all I did was shove the intructions in the agent's face and that shut her up. I split my ammo and put at least one box/rifle in my rifle case and the rest in my bag. When my wife travels with me, I split it yet again so I have it in three different places. jorge

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
