From the OP



Carry-on means in the passenger cabin, you can look that shit up if you want to. If you try to carry gun parts into the passenger cabin you diserve the raping.

funny... I purchased a geiselle trigger at the shot show from the Geiselle booth, placed it in my carry on backpack and flew to Washington. I wasn't stopped.

Yes, because I'm sure the TSA agents that checked them were the ones that wrote those rules

Consider yourself lucky then

A friend of mine told me he flew to Utah a year ago with an industrial strength xacto knife folding blade combo he uses in construction in his carry on accidentally and they didn't say a word. Meanwhile my mom spends 3 weeks in one of the most hated places in the world Israel. Who really is surrounded by enemies and all she can tell me is how easy and enjoyable her airport experience was there.

I think there should be a comma after Israel and before who...Or perhaps the whole sentence needs restructuring....

That TSA Officer is stupid. The only part that needs to be declared is a recever or frame. He needs to be educaed.

Most TSA people are stupid. I should know because I worked with the ass holes for awhile. The receiver aka the actual firearm needs to be locked up in checked bagage. Most people can't tell the difference between and upper or lower or barrel so when you say gun parts they think it needs to be locked up. I have even seen Airline agents force passengers to buy a gun case to transport a bb gun and paint ball gun. F'ing ridiculous.

In regards to your carry on basically anything gun related can't go. That includes bolts, empty mags, stripped receivers. Nothing. Scopes shouldnt be an issue since they are basically monoculars. Binoculars are fine so scopes and red dots should be as well. We all know they are harmless as individual pieces. Their concern is multiple "threats" bringing I'm enough pieces to assemble a firearm and do damage.

Everyone in our party including a LEO/JD were in belief it was lowers specifically, not parts. Hard way to learn the "parts" thing was everything firearms related, exception to scope / binoculars as stated by someone previously.

As for the prohibitive reason being part by part assembly of a weapon.

I believe the more the PEOPLE of the United States get accustomed the standard of "ignoring", side stepping of the Constitution the more we are to be slaves of the Government.

I invite you to see another frightening example of the .Gov ignoring the 4th Amendment. It is i my HTF - NJ.

I am the MOD in that forum, DO NOT criticize NJ or its citizens - this LINK is about how the ATF totally ignored the 4th Amendment. Comment on that, anything else will not be tolerated.

My dad had a 1.5" x .5" Allen wrench confiscated once. The agent held it up like he had found a hidden bowie knife turned red, glared, said weapon quite accusingly. TSA agents are some strange rangers. I often wonder if they started out that way or if the job pushes them over the edge. In either case, they have never actually caught a terrorist and given the billions spent as well as the headache we have all been through at their gloved hands that is saying something.

The obvious fact that seems to have utterly alluded the folks in Washington is that the weakness that allowed the Sept 11 hijackers to succeed was corrected before the last plane could reach its target. Information traveled so fast that the passengers of the last plane (bless their brave souls) prevented its weaponization without any aid from the government, who was, incidentally just slightly too late with all of its money technology and jet fighters two stop the first three.

They either don't fly and have no first hand experience or they work for them. I fly almost weekly. The TSA is the definition of wasted government spending. They have zero professionalism, have Napolean complexes, and prevent nothing! Unless you like a same sex groping they are useless. They should go back to delivering pizza or sitting in their parents basements.

There was a time… Shortly after graduating basic, I was changing duty stations and as a lack of using TMO to move my stuff, I packed all of my stuff into the few large sized back packs and went my way. I get to the airport and check my bags in and then proceed to head for my gate. As I go through the check point, my bag gets scanned. I get pulled to the side by the TSA agent. He tells me that the scanner has picked something up in my bag. He then ask me if I had something metal in bag. I tell him I just left basic a few months ago and it's just a mini mag light that I picked along the way. He let's me go and I board the plane. After getting to my new home, I begin to unpack. Well what do you know, that mini mag light turned out to be my CRKT folding knife. Maybe it was my service uniform, maybe it was the TSA agent not doing his job, who knows. All I know is some shit makes it through when it should, and some times that harmless trigger gets scrutinized for nothing.
