| Can I bring a plastic AR15 stock on a plane? Carry-on, I won't be checking any bags. |

I wouldn't. They have been known to seize an empty magazine since it is a gun part. They also are allowed to make up rules on the fly since the rules are 'sensitive security information'. Sadly, this was pretty much true for me too. I tried bringing an upper in my checked baggage, and they said it needed to be in a locked case. I asked them where it said they and yep, they pulled the above crap. |

It is illegal to transport any firearm parts in your carry on luggage. I've hear this before but never seen a reference. Do you know where the reference for this is? http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1666.shtm Travelers may only transport UNLOADED firearms in a locked, hard-sided container in or as checked baggage. All firearms, ammunition and firearm parts, including firearm frames and receivers, are prohibited in carry-on baggage. ... These regulations are strictly enforced. Violations can result in state and local criminal prosecution, as well as civil penalties of up to $2,000 per violation. |

I took a quick look over there but as all things .gov it had be befuddled instantly. You saved my anus from some undue probing! |

From the same reference: Travelers should remain in the area designated by the aircraft operator or TSA representative to take the key back after the container is cleared for transportation. The above is a clear violation of FAA regulations. FAA regulations clearly state that at no time shall the key to a cased locked firearm ever leave your custody. This is social engineering by TSA to circumvent FAA regulation. That's why I asked about a reference. The TSA is very good about trying to get around FAR. The deal about the key I mention above is the reason I quit flying. I refused to give my key to a TSA agent and showed him the FAR. He said, "I don't give a fuck what piece of paper you have or what FAA regulation you think applies to my job." It ended up with two SEATAC cops, a Washington Highway Patrolman and the airport TSA manager hashing it out off to the side while I refused to surrender my keys or my place in line. I distinctly remember all three cops saying, "But the regulations say..." and the TSA manager agreeing then trying to once again change the regs on the fly. I was finally allowed to unlock my case, let the TSA see my pistol was unloaded, lock my case and bag up and get on my flight. Last time I ever flew. I suspect the FAR does not address gun parts. That's why I asked about the reference. I trust nothing on the TSA website. I'll hunt up the key reference once again and see if I find any reference to gun parts in FAR. |
