Re: SCOPE and Hand luggage

Quote:
Do the airlines allow scope being held in a hand luggage.
Or must the scopes be stored in the guncase in the hold (load compartiment) of the plane?
A scope might be a first rate bludgeon and the (coated) lenses paramount to slice any throat handy?
In these critical times, when airlines are afraid of whatever can look like a weapon, I am afraid a scope be considered an arm.
???????????????????
In short - NO - and even more so in this current environment.
Don't even try it - you are likely to get halled away for questioning and miss the plane as it would be classed by them as part of a firearm and one of the things they are worried about is these getting onto the plane in parts.
I was even queried on dies - I told them they were
machine parts !
