As for sweating the details about gun ownership I have sweat 26 years worth active duty in the US Army by being shot at! You are correct on hardened case verses shell, it was a harden shell. Your reply is one that appears that you work for the airline industry as "Airline Sympathizer"
I followed the TSA rules which is what we are required to do, but the loophole of allowing airlines to set their own rules causes confusion.
Bottom line is simple the airlines to ask the question when you purchase a ticket online are you a carrying and if so direct the consumer to where the airline policy is. Flying is frustrating enough without the hassle and airline employees that have absolutely no courtesy towards the customers who pays their salaries.
Do not lecture people about sweating the details when flying with a weapon or other items on planes, if you are that great about sweating the details you may possibly find a job with the TSA to help airlines clarify their policies at the TSA site. I talked to an operations manager at our airport this morning about the issue now he found out the airport has a problem also since TSA does allow ammunition in the magazine in the hard shell case separate from the firearm. Makes one wonder how many more have the same issue/problem.
