Look up tsa regs. print them. laminate them together. know them.approach ticket counter, greet the folks there, tell them you need to "declare an unloaded firearm" and you will have one form to fill out... your personal info.thats it!If youre flying southwest your day will go really well.some pointers:you must use a lock. DO NOT USE A TSA LOCK its a felony.pack an extra in the case. This way if one of the fine, well educated folks at tsa need to cut the lock from your case to verify that its unloaded you have an extra. Stick you cell# and name on the outside of your case, and on the firearm itself ( that blue masking tape is great). If they do open your case, they have no reason not to contact you. Your phone is on untill its almost time for departure anyway right?At many airports you will be able to watch the luggage be screened by TSA. Standing there looking alert lets these guys know whats going on. Only once have I had a screener fail to see the gun, and look up searching for the guy whose gun it is. They make eyecontact, and communicate that you are good to go.Youre flying with a pistol... pack the small case in your bigger luggage. Extra padding, and your gun case flies covert. Its not gonna disappear into a luggage throwers car at break time because they don't know it exists. Don't allow anyone to put a tag indicating the presence of a firearm on the outside of the case if they try, ask to speak to a manager, and produce those laminated sheets I brought up earlier. Its against the law to do so.I fly with a gun about 4 times a year... have for several now. its easy.do it.</blockquote>
