Does this work with realistic airsoft guns? I could imagine this being an interesting hack without having to purchase and own an actual firearm for those of us who would rather avoid that. Also, what is the screening process like with the cops? Does it take significantly longer? Is it shorter? Do they question why you are bringing it? Would it be a valid response to say "to make sure people with real security training are checking my luggage vs. the TSA?" |

The process is "it's just business and it's your right". I felt self conscious the first time I did it as an adult, moving some guns from my mom's house to Washington. However no one gave a damn, I was expecting a "oh sh*t" from the checking agent but she didn't even blink.
It's about the same as checking skiis, you go over to the oversized bags area and you have to wait for a cop to walk over, takes maybe 3-10 minutes extra over a normal checkin. However you can I think go to the special lane by asking the person who is filtering around telling folks which lanes to use when checking in.
The valid reason to have a gun is "Murican". I feel weird saying this but 'it's a constitutional right'. I get more shit for bringing water into TSA than checking a gun onto a plane.
