This guy ruins all credibility with "I miss Airtran" comment at the end.
It's not really identifying it as firearms though, no much more than perhaps, a "fragile" or "handle with care" sticker is it?Someone should go read the BATFE rule on this because I seem to recall that they specify that no external identifier is to designate the bag as containing a firearm.
Unfortunately the uptick in the number of such stickers is going to alert the thieves that the airlines and airports have employed in their baggage handling department that its likely a gun. It will, effectively, ID it even if it does not say the word "Gun".This guy ruins all credibility with "I miss Airtran" comment at the end.

Now the zip tie thing, that just baffles me. Maybe so nobody goes crazy on the way out? Think about it, you just got off of a plane. You shouldn't have any cutters to remove the zip ties.
I miss them too. I always had excellent service from Airtran...This guy ruins all credibility with "I miss Airtran" comment at the end.
Except the nail clippers you just purchased for $0.79 on The Concourse.Now the zip tie thing, that just baffles me. Maybe so nobody goes crazy on the way out? Think about it, you just got off of a plane. You shouldn't have any cutters to remove the zip ties.
Or in your carry-on. Kind of a dumb policy change with no thought behind it.Except the nail clippers you just purchased for $0.79 on The Concourse.
When was that? Scroll down in the link for rankings...Delta on the other hand, is the airline that has screwed me on such a consistent basis I have vowed to never fly them again.
Delta = Don't Even Leave The Airport
I disagree. I worked at UPS for five years and the high value packages were easy to spot. We knew it, and the criminals knew it.As far as the authors concerns about the new procedure, they are pure conjecture, the same type people on this forum accuse the Moms and others of. Just saying.
Yes. Guns, jewelry, adult toys, and toupes were all conspicuously inconspicuous in their own unique way. Drugs were probably the hardest to spot in stream and the easiest to spot at drop off or pickup.But did you know what was in them?
Daily suspects the neon orange "priority" tags affixed to their bags might have tipped someone off that they were travelers with higher value items in their luggage.
CBS4 has learned that an employee at Denver International Airport has been fired and charged with rifling through passengers' checked bags on three occasions, and stealing guns out of their luggage.
The worker, Melvin Deandre Lewis, 24, worked for Air Serv, a vendor that handles bags and other services for airlines. According to court documents and interviews, Denver police believe Lewis opened United Airlines passengers checked bags and stole firearms in April and on two occasions in May.

Recently flew to Tampa and back on Delta. The CAGPT tags both ways. Zip ties in Tampa. I pulled out a pair of small diagonal cutters( less than 7 inch long per TSA regs) and cut the zip ties in the baggage office and gave it to the agent with a smile. I told him it wasn’t my first rodeo.Is this actual policy now? Has anybody confirmed it other than Mark Walter's article?
