I just carried three shotguns to Canada in a Pelican case. United in Jacksonville, FL pulled a new one on me this time.
I had the six closures secured with TSA combination locks. The locks did not tightly close on the closures. TSA opened all six of the closures and even though the locks were all still in place, they were able to crack the case open very slightly, certainly not enough to get a gun out. They pronounced that if they could get one finger into the case and TOUCH a gun they wouldn't ship it.
I solved the problem by locking two additional locks into the locks already on the case in order to tighten the loop up enough that they could not get a finger in. Seems arbitrary to me...Geo
Makes perfect sense to me George.
