No, it isn't.



I made the comment out of annoyance, tbh.

Is one of the options not bringing shite into another country that isn't legal there?
This past winter, I put on a coat that I hadn't worn since the winter before, and went to work. Got to work, went to pull out something I had dropped in a pocket. First thing I pulled out was a drill bit, then I found an Allen wrench. Last thing was one round of 5.45mm.

guess my larger concern is all of our crack, highly-trained TSA agents and high-dollar screening equipment letting ammo get through on a carry-on.


bingo!

ETA: AA, the airline he was flying on X-rays checked baggage, and were the only airline doing that prior to 9/11

No weapons just bullets? I think that's an over reach. Fine them and let them on their way.

The article I read said they had to check in twice weekly. I’ve been to Turks, and it’s pretty laid back. They have a +- 50 person defense force throughout the islands and about 250 law enforcement personnel. I think it would be pretty easy to bust on outta there with the help of a few stateside buddies. There are quite a few capable guys who would love to run that op as a weekend activity.

One of the other quirks about the Turks is they require a citizen to put up collateral for bail so if they leave the guy loses his house.

I think they would have a tough time collecting on that deal. If they could collect on it; I’d let them have it over a 12 year prison stint.

For Turks and Caicos and other small islands, America pretty much should determine their laws through leverage

Better us than China doing it

I would not travel places where the laws are that strict. The country can do whatever it wants.

1) How do multiple unrelated people have announced left in their bags?

2) how does TSA at multiple airports not discover this?
