Brings back memories of the movie "Midnight Express". Hopefully, it doesn't play out like it. Link

Guess he'll take a closer look at his luggage next time.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

That's why I try not to go to places that are not as free as we are...like Dallas or Austin...or Turks and Caicos evidently.

I wonder if we will trade “The merchant of Death” for him.

Turks and Caicos is a fairly corrupt island nation. They are going to make big noise about zero tolerance and sending this guy to prison. But smart money says he'll be out in a couple of months when the right palms have been greased, and he'll quietly get a suspended sentence.
But it is a stupid oversight and an inexcusable way to ruin a vacation.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

They would be wise if they apologize to him for the inconvenience and send him on his way. This is bad for tourism..

I’ve got no inclination to leave the United States ever again. I have seen enough of the world to know better.
I’d probably get locked up just for my views in the UK. No doubt.

If word really gets out on this, I can see them taking a hit. Feel sorry for the guy

No way Id ever take my truck into mexico to hunt, no way I could ever find all the random rounds

screw the island idiots, how the hell did he get it thru tsa? Thats my question also Checked baggage. About eight years ago I flew to Phoenix, stayed two days. Then to Atlanta for a few days. While on the plain I was digging through my carry on and found two rounds of 00 buck shot from my last outing chasing pigs. I went through TSA twice and they did not catch it. I know a few guys (both well-to-do business men) that have been caught at the metal detectors/X-rays with ammo. They have been asked to take it back to the car and go through security again Oversites happen. I am scared every time I get on a plane. I have random rounds everywhere. You just hope you are not made an example of.

Sad deal for him and his family, but it's just not that difficult to empty your backpack/carry on or any other luggage and search it carefully before packing anything. I do it every time before I travel. Takes a few minutes and I have nothing to worry about.
