      The TSA is shockingly ineffective. Iirc they had a failure rate between 95-99% every year until they stopped publishing statistics.

      I know someone who accidentally flew to Rome with a loaded gun. They disassembled it and threw it in several different trash bins rather than try to ship it or smuggle it back.

      Probably checked baggage, or just in a carry-on with a bunch of other metal. They’d probably notice a loaded magazine, but a couple of rounds floating around in the bottom of a purse doesn’t necessarily show up the same way.
