[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1440423, member: 1132"] What to do (from inside the industry). If you find yourself stranded in hostile territory, DO NOT ACCEPT THE BAG! Instruct the air carrier to "expedite" the bag to your final destination. Explain that you cannot accept the bag under any circumstances. Every air carrier is required to collect unattended and unclaimed bags from inbound baggage carousels. You may have to stand there and watch your bag go around 20 or 30 times (to ensure it isn't stolen) and then go to the baggage claim office (which may double as the ticket counter), describe your bag, present the bag tag(s) and request that the bag be "expedited" to your final destination. Do not accept any other "solution" from the agent. Ask to speak to a manager, supervisor or Ground Security Coordinator (GSC) if necessary. The last one will get the agent's attention and let them know you're travel savvy. The airline will then have to tag the bag with an expedite tag and secure it until it can be routed onto the next aircraft going to your destination. Most likely it will be on the next flight, which should be the one you will be on anyway. You can't always avoid hostile states. Your flight may be diverted to one due to a mechanical issue or weather. It's best to avoid scheduling flights with layovers in hostile states when flying with a firearm if possible though! [/QUOTE]
