This did not happen to me, but to my brother-in-law. He lives in CA, so is used to dealing with anti-gun people, but this one really amazed him. While flying home from Missoula, MT, (where I live) he stated that he had an unloaded firearm in his luggage. They pull it out to inspect it, and when they open it, he had removed his ammo from the mag and put it in a ziploc baggie( yes, a no-no, but he had nothing else to use, he forgot to leave it at my house) so then, they tell him he cannot fly with loose ammo, to which he says, "fine, can you please dispose of it for me" to which they reply, no, they can't throw away loose ammo in an airport trash can, so then he ask what he should do. So the TSA agent tells him to LOAD HIS MAG and PUT IT IN THE GUN. So, under the watchful eye of the agent, and supervisor, he did just that, and said it was the wierdest thing he had ever done in an airport.
Blows me away.
