I will be going home soon, and wanted to bring some extra AR/M4 mags along with me. I know that they would have to go in checked luggage, but according to TSA's guidelines they need to be secured in a box. That seems a bit ridiculous, what, they want me to claim them at the counter too?  Does anyone have any experience doing this?

Firearm magazines and ammunition clips must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. TSA Firearm Guidelines Shrug. Follow the rules. ETA: I usually carry two mags with me, and put them in a mag carrier. I have never had an issue, but technically it is against the rules. |

1st post! one mistake and leave a round in there you're dust 
don't take ANY chances!  If he puts it in checked baggage properly, how exactly is he "dust"? I'm looking at them now, just a bunch of extra magazines I've acquired from m4 ranges over time. Completely dry. |
