Yeah from what I've read it seems pretty straight forward but I was curious if it really turns out to be that straight forward when you show up at the airport and declare the gun in your suitcase... Can't remember the last time any interaction with the TSA was simple and straight forward.
why would you need tsa locks? there is no requirement to lock your luggage, only the container holding the weapon needs to be locked and that lock cannot be a TSA lock!All very good advice for sure. I fly at least twice a year and have no problems. I too, print out the rules for the airline I am flying and keep it with me. They are slightly different from airline to airline. I will have to read up on the TSA rules again. This was several years ago but i was confronted at declaration once because my locks were NOT TSA locks. Luckily I had a set of TSA locks with me too.

I have had some airlines require I lock the luggage as well, and some do not! I should probably re-read the TSA rules and carry them as well...
I have learned that it all depends on the person checking the luggage. That's why I carry 2 sets of locks. And after looking on the TSA website, I see nothing that states what type of (TSA or non-TSA) lock needs to be used.
The airlines do have their own rules too. And yes, obviously it's going to be a lock only I can open. I was referring to TSA "approved" locks...
