I told her because TSA was too busy groping and feeling up all the cute women headed for the Bahamas, and not looking at the X-ray machine.

When you hire minimum wage robots, you don't get intelligence and the ability to use discretion.
If it was a box of ammo, or several loaded magazines in the pack is one thing, but a single .32 cal bullet hiding the the corner fold at the bottom of a pack, most people would assume it was just over looked at home, retrieve it, dispose of it, and let the guy be on his way.
But, we live in a world of idiots and sometimes the idiots bite.

They must've thought he could throw that bullet really fast and hard...Stupidity, never ceases to amaze me. Thats as bad a kids being suspended/expelled from school for drawing a picture of a gun. "Zero tolerance" means zero common sense in my book.

Oh my gawwwd... I shudder to think! He'd be thrown in a dungeon and left to rot until he was an old man if it happened in Jersey! They are a bunch of pin-heads in Jersey.

"His ordeal began last Friday when airport security in Freeport, Bahamas found a .32-caliber bullet inside his fanny pack. He was charged with possessing ammunition and sent to a jail in Nassau. Lapp says he thinks he left the bullet in his pack after a hunting trip."
.32ACP or .32Win? The former is easier to miss and the latter is more likely to be taken on a hunting trip.
Either way, this is why I thoroughly check all my luggage before a trip.
If this had happened in Mexico he'd still be there.

Gee, I will definitely feel safer, if I ever go to the Bahamas, knowing how thorough they are.

I was at the shooting range a day before I took a flight to Canada,as I was checking in at registration I reached in my change pocket for something and discovered a round of 223 I had put in my pocket.Counter lady called LEO he showed up I explained situation and even showed him my CHL ,he said I'm gonna have to confiscate the cartridge and I said no problem thanks.I am just glad it wasn't at the TSA screening area.I learned that whenever I fly I will physically lay anything going in my pockets out in plain sight and not just transfer from one pair of pants to another without looking

Range/hunting bags, travel bags, keep them separate.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

As stated here: unless it's checked luggage I keep everything separate.

At least charges were dropped...after an attorney made some money.$$$$$

One time thru JFK the TSA asked me to unload the magazine even thought the airlines website said it was ok. I unloaded the mag and placed the rounds into a box of ammo that I packed for the trip. As I lifed the suitcase and handed it off to TSA there was a round left on the table. I looked at the same time as the Port Authority officer looked at it. I picked it up and ask him if he could dispose of the round. He said no problem. Not worth getting suit case back for one round.
