Re: TSA Seizes Record Number Of Guns At Airport Security Checkpoints

This was in VA, not TX. He was pulled out of line, temporarily handcuffed while they did a very complete search of him and his carry-on bag. He was released, but the magazine was confiscated. He received a very nasty letter from TSA, but no fine--however, was told if it happened again, there would be a hefty fine.
I wonder how this would play out now, especially with the recent court rulings that magazines are not arms. A good defense to try if someone makes this type of mistake.
