I flew out of Florida last spring and remember I forgot my Briefcase with a Hunting knife in it, I was going to carry it on , they made me cheak it in like baggage.
When I crossed the boarder in October just after, I had a Gun and bow on the way to jalvja's place , they had a look and both where locked up in the cases , there was no problem ,respontablity goes a long way in this case ...BT
