He did not do this, so he is responsible for the consequences. Unfortunately, that includes being arrested. I wouldn't have thought it was a big deal, either, but then again, I don't travel with guns. Note to self, when traveling with firearms, know the laws regarding firearms in the areas you are traveling. IF you are forced to stop in an unfamiliar territory, ASK!

So are you saying that if you fly with checked firearms you should know the law in all states in case of an emergency landing or diverted landing. Get real. Like the article says, he was traveling to PA, NOT NJ. It's reasonable to assume he knew the law in PA but not necessarily the laws in NY, KY, OH,NJ.
