my dad took 9 9mm rounds on a plane in 94' and went through all air post securty in the states with no problem, no alarms nothing. he forgot all about them in the bag he had with him. he gets in to Croatia (sp?) and goes into one metal detector and it goes ape shit and they slam him against a wall and ask where the gun is. he didn't have a gun but thats his gun bag. needless to say when they found his badge and DoD papers they let him go, he also let them keep the 9mm rounds because they have never seen such a thing. gold ol' US of A air ports for ya' lol.
