    Use real locks not those TSA pos. My son had a gun screwed with by TSA. One of the guys in New Zealand who travels a lot to hunt. Said he never has used TSA locks.

    Insurance at airport.. TSA thieves wont touch it if insurance is involved.
    Flying with long guns is about as bad as flying with guitars. The truck drivers aim for them.

    Keep the keys handy. They will have you open it at check in. TSA will also inspect it with you present. It’s easy traveling with a firearm. Just a little time consuming so arrive earlier than normal.
