I have flown in/out/through EWR and PHL with real steel ARs dressed for war and no one batted an eye, though they weren't legal to own in NJ laws permit passing through with Federally allowed kit. But we don't have the gestapo patrolling like you do in NYC.Spears wrote:Anyone had luck w/ NYC airports? I'm thinking I should goto newark or something to avoid the "WTF your in NYC and your tryna transport a replica/bb gun M4, sig, night vision, and a bunch of tactical gear out of NYC?" kinda reaction. Overall just feels like a really uncomfortable situation to be in.
Conduct yourself politely and professionally and refer to them as training equipment to avoid superfluous discussion and volunteer nothing extra.
