Happy to be here
I traveled out of Wilmington (ILM) last week. I presented the same Pelican case to the airline agent that I have used routinely while checking my firearm. We didn't get far into the process when she asked me if I had a second lock for the case. I did not. I have never needed one. She claimed that since there were two lock positions on the case, they both needed to be filled. I asked to see the policy. She tried to show me some pictures from her computer, which I contended did not equal policy. She offered to go retrieve the lead TSA agent who would ultimately decide if two locks were required. He showed up and confirmed. He even attempted to get one of his locks to fit, but it wouldn't latch. Everyone was very polite and professional.
Having no spare lock and not enough time to leave the airport to procure one, I took the case back to the truck and traveled without it.
I tried to pry open the unlocked side of the case and decided there is no way that was possible.
I may be ignorant of the new policy, but I give this heads-up so that others are not.
