[Malum Prohibitum]

Well, that ought to answer that stupid ticket agent from Delta in Portland's airport that tried to make me get rid of a $37 box of .338 WM ammunition at the counter because I had it in the gun case. When she wasn't looking, I slipped my loaded magazine of 15 rounds or .40 caliber ammo into the suitcase as well.

This was pre-2001 (by one year).

Oh, I comply with all of that stuff now.

I always used to carry in my carry on baggage a Buck knife and several hundred rounds of 7.62 x 39 ammo and nobody ever said a word.

Now that knife would have come in handy had my flight been occupied by Muslims with box cutters, wouldn't it?
