Retired FBI agent here. Same drill for checking in with a firearm - which arguably makes the plane safer. Different procedures at 150 airports. And the first step is dealing with airline checkin personnel. 🙄

At the airport. IAH.
TSA agent behind me: take all electronics out. iPads, laptops, everything.
TSA agent to my wife in front of me: leave all electronics in your bag.
My wife to a 3rd TSA agent: leave em in or take em out?
TSA condescending: leave. Them. In. Jesus Christ.…

I quit carrying on flights for that reason and checked them. Arguably worse.

Checking is worse. Neither the airlines, nor TSA understand their own rules. Post retirement, the few times I’ve checked a firearm, I print copies of both the airline and TSA policy so I could show them their policy.

3 checked firearms from Chicago to Las Vegas no issue. A week later after training, checking into airport, declare like normal, agent proceeds to tell me to remove firearms out of their locked cases so she could see they were in fact firearms, and they were all unloaded. SMH

My former agency, CBP started requiring us to fly armed for all official travel due to numerous issues with airlines and TSA regarding checked weapons. Plus the agency had lost a lot of weapons stolen or lost with checked baggage. I never had an issue flying armed.
