At first I thought this was you but then I read it was a
"de-militarized" weapon and I knew it couldn't be you!

TSA said the passenger didn’t declare the weapon, prompting them to
confiscate it. Once they found the anti-tank rifle, agents identified
the passenger and escorted him to their office.

When TSA took the passenger to its office, he was able to provide
paperwork verifying its de-militarized status. An on-duty TSA explosives
specialist also corroborated it was no longer in use.

SAPD said there are no charges pending at this time. After answering
TSA’s questions, the passenger was able to rebook his flight to Nevada,
albeit without the de-militarized rifle. TSA declared he wouldn’t be
able to fly with the prop anti-tank weapon, so he arranged for a family
member to retrieve it, according to SAPD.

You're right for a change. It wasn't me. I don't have one of those,
but I do have some GPS-guided cowpattiepults. However comma their
metrics and payload prevent them from being carried in checked baggage.

Decades ago, those Swedish 20mm anti-tank guns became popular for jaded firearm fanciers with bigger dirt piles for gunnery practice than YKW... In fact, IIRC, a wildfire one of them caused, brought a swift ban on where one could shoot steel core ammo in Commiefornia... As the relatively cheap ammo dried up, their popularity waned.... Those rich folks sure do know how to amuse themselves, don't they? HawHawHaw!

You have no idea how big my dirtpile is - and before you start
speculating again, there is no relationship between it and the size of
my hands.

Be careful saying what you think I'm saying - my cowpattiepults have a
coast-to-coast efficacious range.
