Luger transportation in post 9/11 world?

Like Ed, I have transported pistols on airplanes and I would agree with Ed's statements above ---- with two additions. The first is to arrive at the airport earlier than usual, since the firearms must be declared to the ticket agents first who will give you a tag to put with them. Then you are off to TSA. Be early as sometimes there can be lines.

Second, pick a metal gun case or a very heavy plastic one - as they can stand being bounced around. Depending on the number of pistols, I would suggest either a single or double (take down) shotgun case. Small enough to be carried (if it does not have wheels) and big enough not to get misplaced.
