I apologize if this is a repost, but my searches turned up lots of contradictory information:
I am flying to Virginia later this month, and am thinking of having some ammo shipped to my parents in VA so I can fly back to Boston with it. If flying with a firearm in checked luggage, I know you have to declare the firearm at check-in and lock the case. However, the way I am reading the TSA and JetBlue regs, if I pack ammo but no firearm, I don't have to declare anything or lock anything. Is this correct?
As far as I can tell, the only requirement is that the ammo be packed in a suitable fiber box (i.e. the original factory box.) So can I just put some boxes of ammo in my suitcase, and check it at the ticket counter without doing anything extra?
