Recently My Guns Were Stolen at Philadelphia International Airport, They were locked in a Quality TSA Approved Gun Case with Four Keyed Locks , One Lock was Cut and the Guns were removed from the end , Airport Security said it’s not there Problem , TSA said it’s not there Problem , Philadelphia Police said they will check into it , After One Hundred Phone Calls NO ONE has returned my Calls , Is it too much for the Police To question the Baggage Handlers Assigned to my Flight ? Is it asking Too Much for The Police to Review the Camera Tape ? I am Screwed but I will bet my Life Savings the Police were Involved, My Advice never leave your Guns Out of Your Sight !!

No insurance?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It would be cheap insurance when flying to remove the butt plate and stick an apple air tag underneath. At least then you could tell the cops exactly where your gun went.

I don't fly. tsa can kiss my grits. spent most of my life driving all over this country. flying and renting a car would be nice but i am not going to deal with something as abhorant and useless as tsa

I hope your guns turn up. But I doubt anybody looks for them.

We're you flying into, or out of, Philly? Are you sure the theft occurred at Phillie? Airport baggage areas for departures are secure areas. Anyone working there has to have a SIDA badge. You are finger printed and get an intense background check to get the badge. Guns aren't dropped off with regular bags on arrival. You have to go to the TSA room to get your guns. Someone with a SIDA badge stole those guns. You would think TSA would take this seriously.
If you have any gun friendly senators or reps call them.

Sadly, you're fighting a losing battle.
No way would I ever trust guns going thru an airlines. Especially PA

Was thinking is this a flight leaving or arrival may be they never got on the plane or never made to baggage
To claim, looks totally like an inside job thats been tested to work many times !!

It is TSAs problem. I would pursue this claim with a respected attorney.

Several years ago a union agreement forbid cameras in baggage areas. Go figure. Why no cameras?

Massachusetts is a problem.
Took my luggage out of the trunk before parking the car and a airport cop looked in my trunk and noticed a case..
I went to jail for not having a state firearm permit.

Once the baggage is outside, almost everyone could access them. I have been in aviation for almost 12 years at different airports, currently working in operations and have never had a SIDA Badge. That's mainly for tsa.

Best case scenario, the airport has cameras and got it recorded. I would contact the airport directly. Not airlines or tsa.


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.
