When I was in college I brought a dissambled paintball gun on a plane, CO2 tank and all. I'd been told by friends it would fly if I took it apart and said nothing, so, being 19 and dumb, I figured, "Oh, its ok". Sure as hell, it was!

Even then, the idea that I could walk onto a plane with what would look like a dissasembled fire arm, not to mention a 20 oz compresed air tank (empty) seemed to be absurd. If they're looking at my shoes and grabbing my crothch, how did they let a mag get through? I mean even a jackass knows what a clip looks like. Maybe three guys, each with a dissassembled part? WTF?
