Uh, er, jet blue traveling out of - to where? Handgun or LG, w/wo ammo, using hard sided locked box w/lock holes on both sides and front stuffed inside your luggage, tsa locks or private keyed cylinder locks...ad nauseam?

Yo..golddigger14s...sidebar ~ ya think you can at least put a viable Jefferson quote in your signature block which has some semblance of truth, especially since historians have shown Jefferson never expressed that sentiment!

Perhaps you might follow Roux’s guidance...
