Thread: Aviation security retards ?!

nah, fuk em.
I've sent them a very polite "please explain" email today. We'll see were it goes, but I'm not taking this shit lying down.
I'm sure there are plenty of good people who work in Aviation Security, but if they have screw ups they should fix it & learn from their mistakes.

Heard that 2 guys flying down for wap blocks this week end just gone got all their ammo confiscated ..... try buying 284 ammo in TeAnau, or anywhere for that matter.
Air NZ staff dont have a clue about what constitutes "approved packaging" for ammo and the whole thing is very vague. Needs tidying up, sensible and made very clear .... like provide pictures of all types of approved packaging. And packaging that is not acceptable.
Right now its a mind fuck, roll the dice and see if you're lucky today.

BTW "original branded packaging" which is what Air NZ staff often quote is by definition impossible for any wild cat cartridge (284, 7mmSAUM, 6.5 SAUM, until recently 280ai, etc etc.)
I've had this discussion very politely with Air NZ staff on several occasions both in lodging my firearm/ammo details when booking flights and at check in.
Generally speaking the person is clueless about the subject matter, yet they are the only interface we have to the requirements.

And most factory ammo packets are as flimsy as shit, not as strong/safe as purpose designed plastic ammo boxes ..... wtf ????
