Delta Implements New Rule For Guns in Checked Bags

Delta Airlines quietly implemented a new rule for passengers carrying weapons in checked baggage, airlines sources exclusively told NBC 6. Luggage with weapons inside will go through an extra secure process during pick up.

The baggage will go directly to a baggage service agent who is required to perform an ID check on the passenger who picks up the luggage, sources told NBC 6. The agent must then use zip ties to secure the bag.

    Nice flag telling the baggage handlers that a firearm is most likely in the bag. Way to go there, Delta! Who pays for the stolen gun, and who will be responsible?

    Indeed Carl. But *first* they’ll have to get through a plastic zip tie….
