Look, I get where you're coming from but this is just over the top.
The laws are clear and posted everywhere when going through a TSA checkpoint. The fact of the matter is that you've got no one else to blame if you have your personal property confiscated because you were too absent minded to remember you had a prohibited item in your carry-on luggage in this day and age.
If you follow the rules you get where you're going with your stuff. I flew Sunday with a pistol and 3 fully loaded mags of .40. You fill out a card, show the agent your stuff, and they check your bag. It's about as simple as can be.
I get where you're coming from too, but just look at what you said. It has become completely acceptable to us that in order to get from point A to point B in America with a firearm, you have to let the federal government almost give you a literal and metaphorical body cavity search. Laws are clear and posted... checkpoints... rules posted... cards filled out... prohibited items...agents, etc...then you say it's simple as can be, and that if you get your weapons or ammo seized, it's your own fault.
I'm not trying to be combative, just thinking out loud more than anything. I do get what you're saying, but I just think that more and more rules, and less and less freedom will just continue to be accepted as normal and acceptable until it's all over.
