I had an experience this holiday season that I have not had before. I declared my handguns as usual (with Delta) when I checked in at Detroit Metro. No problem. When I tried to check in online for my return flight, however, the website said that there was some sort of "special service" involved with my reservation so that I could only check in at the airport. I called Delta and asked why I couldn't check in online, and I was asked if I was flying with a "weapon." I said that I would be, and the woman said that was why I couldn't check in online. I expressed surprise, as I've been in a similar situation many times. The woman said something about new policies.
I asked about this when I checked in at the airport, and they said that my reservation must have been flagged because I had declared a firearm on the outbound flight. As a result, although I was TSA Precheck on the outbound flight, I was not on the return flight, even though other family members, whose tickets were booked separately, were Precheck in both directions. The Precheck line was much shorter, and I am pretty ticked about this.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
