Thread: Ammo in checked luggage- domestic flights

The plastic cases are OK as others have noted - if asked I would phrase my reply as "it is packaged in commercially produced plastic ammunition packaging as it is safer and more secure than the factory cardboard boxes...".

Haha I bet THAT would confuse check in staff even more. Ill be polite and helpful of course, but if they say 'original unopened boxes' Ill have to say no, and advise I opened each box to check the platic separators were intact them (which I've done btw).

I wish there was clear concise rules for these scenarios and mentioned that in my Arms Act submission.
