A blind f***ing chimpanzee could have “detected” that case.

You sir when the Internet for the day. But On all serious levels..That is a beautiful work of art I’ve worked with glass and it’s pretty nice. In the case. You’re looking at artwork

 

[MGnoob]

My guess is they wanted to open the case to see if it was a rifle I think I just told him straight out it’s not..When You check a case like that. There’s a little room to the right you go to. Where they look at it

Velez also reminded people then that “all firearms must be declared and properly packaged in your checked bag.”

What if it is beyond a shadow of doubt that something that looks like a rifle is obviously not?

Administrator's easiest answer is always no.

What if there was a glass blowing forge on the plane, he could form it into the shape of a bayonet.

Nice that they "let" the person check it.

Weed probably goes into the "red dot" so you can private Pyle it to rip a hit.

 

[dragonballzz]

You ever tried to bring a lighter that looks like a rifle? It's a "replica" so it can't be in Carry-On and must be Checked-in. But it is a lighter with fuel in it so it can't be Checked-In and must be Carried-On. Oops. Into the trash it goes.

I can sleep better knowing that the crack employees of the TSA are on the case.

TSA... oh you were fired from McDonalds, we have just the job for you!
