Big difference.

Magazines aren’t allowed in carry-on bags. Perhaps there was no longer an opportunity to move them to checked bags?

Weird way to transport mags but should have just put them in checked luggage. And they are standard capacity mags. Stop with the high capacity death and destruction headline horse shit.

Usually they have the option to mail stuff like this home.

It's pricey, so it depends on the cost of the mags whether it would be worth it or not.

Thank You @99cummins, for pointing this out! I'm tired of how people fall into the 'trap' of using the liberal/socialist gun-grabber's vilifying terminology.

I hear TSA has a problem with inert magazines and mother's milk.

In the 20 or so airport security checkpoints I’ve been through in the last 18 months, this has been at option at maybe 3 or 4. It’s not a service provided by TSA or USPS. It’a third-party that may or may not have a contract with that particular airport.

The TSA has a problem with thinking they do anything more than harass an inconvenience people. There is very little that they can do to stop a determined attacker.

I’ve only flown 4 times and each time tsa was a shit show of gene pool scrapings humping doorknobs. They aren’t stopping a damn thing.

It's not like the TSA is armed either. No more a counter threat than mall security.

They are armed with knowledge...and latex gloves.

I’d argue you’re very wrong on the knowledge part.

They're pretty good at stopping passengers.
