TSA
If you plan on traveling by air with firearms check out e-cfr.gpoaccess.gov, Title 49 Transportation, Part 1544.203. You should make a copy of this and carry it with you. The TSA agents must comply with these regulations the same as passengers. If the agents don't comply, you should request a supervisor and don't be surprised if the supervisor doesn't know the rules. You may have to show your copy of the regulations (very politely). If the agents ask for your key to the gun case you should not give it ot them but open the case for them, as the rule requires. You should never surrender the key or combination. Also, there is no TSA regulation prohibiting ammunition in the gun case. The airline may prohibit it, but TSA does not.
Cheers, Tom
