[SML] TSA Locks are Junk (Dave Wortman)

[Stuart Wheaton]

You don't even need a functional firearm, all you need is the receiver 
(frame) that has the serial number.  You could do it with a crappy .22 
cal pocket pistol, stripped bare so it takes little room, and has no 
threat potential.  It still counts as a gun to the TSA.    I heard about 
an airline employee saying it didn't count, just ask for a TSA 
supervisor and ask what would happen it you carried it through the 
checkpoint, the answer will be," It is a gun, you'll be arrested."  You 
declare it, you get to use your own locks.
