Not sure what he was thinking. The scanners would spot the peanut butter easily, not to mention the parts.

Yup. To a scanner that peanut butter might as well be water. Organics (fabrics, plants, etc) show up as certain color, metal a completely different color.

Forget the dog handler. What has that passenger been doing that he needs a gun to get the dog to lick peanut butter?

I would love to know the thought processes here - why on earth did he think that packing a handgun in peanut butter and trying to take it on a flight in hand luggage was a good idea?

Was he just trying to avoid check-in luggage fees?

It's just mind-blowing that a grown adult would think this was a good idea.

Why is this a civil offense with a $15K fine?  It wasn't inadvertent. He was smuggling a loaded handgun onto a commercial flight.  This should be a serious felony, with serious felony time.  Had he succeeded, he could have commandeered the plane and redirected it to, I don't know, Alabama?

I hear you, and yes, but probably mostly because he could just claim "I was all scared to death for my safety walking around <wherever the fark he was going> - honest!"  You can't prove intent to mess with the flight without some other indication that was the case, and just smuggling a gun without intent to do anything in particular is indeed a fine offense.  They'd need records of some sort of him planning nefarious shiat to do more than that to him, unless he was one of those idiots that immediately launch into their terrorist manifesto when caught, or brandished it or talked about it like an evil more stable genius

/no comment on the law being that way - but that's how it is

On a similar note - getting caught with a gun with no concealed carry license is not automatically a felony in a lot of places, even California.  As long as you didn't show it off, scare people, get up to bad shiat, whatever - you just had it - it's almost always a misdemeanor.  We're remarkably cavalier as a nation about that shiat - are you terribly surprised, really?

How stupid do you have to be to imagine x-rays wouldn't penetrate peanut butter?

[thought balloon above his head: next time, chunky!!!]


You hide the gun parts in the jar full of nuts and bolts, then you pour warmed peanut butter in.   Then when going through TSA, just say you didn't want the nuts and bolts to make a lot of noise in shipping.   It's not like they are going to sort them out.   Wait.  Why are we doing this again? Can't you just ship the parts to yourself.  Or you can travel with a gun.  You need a certain grade locking luggage but there is a procedure for it.

I was told about it by a service technician who said he keeps a gun in his tool chest.  The barrel of the gun was cemented shut but it was technically a gun.   His tools were quite expensive and the safety procedure for guns meat his tools were kept secure.

Ah, I remember what the procedure was.  It had to be a hard case luggage.  TSA had to inspect his luggage with him present.  Then it got locked with a lock which TSA didn't have a skeleton key for.  (not a TSA lock), and they would make sure he got his luggage at the destination.
