Can a chap take empty bullet cartridges in his luggage on a trans-Alantic flight?
5th Earl of Daveshire asked:
I went shooting last year when I was in Texas, and was going to take some of the empty cartridges back to England with me as a souvenir, but thought maybe this might cause me hassle in customs.
Is this allowed?
I wouldn’t take them in my hand luggage btw, thats just asking for trouble.

you have to hide it in your suitcase with your clothes
Hello old bean! I don’t believe so, probably end up with some unsavoury chap in the backroom of some Dingy terminal!
Allowed or not, would it have been worth the risk? You know what those customs officers do if you get a strip search, I hope. Anyway, don’t know about you, but souvenirs like that end up rattling in the bottom of a draw for years, you wonder why the hell you keep them yet remain loathe to chuck the damn things out.
Yes in the same manner you may carry sporting weapons on board certain carriers. These must identified well in advance eg at the time of booking. If you just turn up at check in with them you will not get far. Each airline has their own adaptation of the rules, and they should be contacted for details.
