TSA Stealing iPads at DFW

[GhostTX]

Yeah and by law they can't steal iPads and other things.

Although, for whatever reason it does feel better to put a case on a plane with multiple locks, with more than one key. Don't know if it really is more secure from those thieves, but it feels better.

Oh, I hear ya. But if it's a soft case, it has to have a TSA lock to lock it, which they can open. If it's a hard case to secure a firearm, you can put any dang lock on there you want. Just one more thing to prevent a theft.

[ThreeFingerPete]

Not by law, they can't. Now, they can call you and make you open it while you watch them go through it. But they can't open it themselves.

Bingo. If it is the hard case that contains a firearm, they are not allowed to have the ability to open it.

im sure they could find a way if they wanted to open it.

I'm pretty sure nobody has been put on trial because somebody stole their shit

obviously its stupid to check expensive items but everyone here lately is blaming the person and not the thief....

[Cooter]

i just dont think some one should be put on trial cause some sone stole their shit

[onemeangixxer7502]

why open it if you have xray available?

because some things can be deceiving

It doesn't have to be a hard gun case. Just a hard case within a certain definition (lock locations, hinges, etc). There's some guy out there that uses 80mm ammo boxes as his travel luggage.

im sure they could find a way if they wanted to open it.

doesn't surprise me. and im yes, I'm blaming the person as well as the thief.

idealism isn't some magical forcefield that protects you from the reality that SMF's are going to steal your shit if you give them the opportunity to...

cut a finger or hand off, and I bet he'd think twie also, but that's not the REALITY we live in, is it?

i will never use airlines as a mean of travel as long as the TSA is in existence. if I can not get there by plane, train, or automobile then I do not need to go. FTTSA and their Nazi regime. This is part of the governments New World Order.

enjoy the ice age of slow traveling . in my line of work commerical airlines are a necessary evil

here we go again blaming the person and not the thief, cut a finger or his hand off and I bet he'd think twie about stealing more shit. Like I've been saying things being stolen from checked items would surprise you guys! its pretty commong especially over seas.

im sure there are ways to circumvent that one as its not a hard gun case. I dont think minus xray for incendiary devices they should be able to open your stuff.

[onemeangixxer7502]

This on the rules of hard cases. And that's my feeling as well.

IF you wanted to, you could get your whole suitcase as a hard case, pack it up as a normal suitcase then throw your gun in there naked (no case), and lock it with a non-TSA lock. With a gun in there, it falls under the hard case rules and then your whole suitcase is now TSA-proof.

[GhostTX]

I thought locked containers had to have an approved TSA lock. One which THEY can open with their "special" keys...
...

Firearms are locked into hard cases that do not have TSA locks on them. The idea is to keep those fuck faces away from your guns in transit.

Is it me, or is in a lot of ways the TSA totally redundant to the existing police forces we have and just general private security that some establishments should have anyway?
