I once flew into LA and had two rifles and a pistol in a licked case. I was waiting at the baggage turn style when I spotted my SMASHED AND CRACKED case coming around with both barrels sticking out. I was sure that the Luger would be gone, but it was still in the case. The break it as badly as they did, they must have run over the thing. The funny thing was that I had met a nice young couple on the flight who were going to give me a ride to my hotel. After they observed me repacking my weapons, they gave me the ride, but hardly said a word.
