TIFU by trying to clear TSA with two loaded spare mags.

I forgot they were in a back sleeve compartment of one of the pockets of my backpack. As you might well imagine, they did not think that was all that cool. Everyone was pretty nice about it, but very serious. Cops were called. They stood there for a minute and watched as my mags were unloaded. Finally one cop approaches and says, "obviously you know you're not supposed to bring those, right?" I respond, "yeah, total accident." "OK, have a nice day." And they walk away. That was it for the cops.The inspector lady from TSA comes over and explains that my TSA pre-check status will likely be suspended and a fine imposed. She further explains that all of that will take some time to arrive in the mail.TL;DR? Always check your travel bag, (or keep them separate) for ammo.Edit: It is my everyday backpack for laptop and such. Not a range bag. I was allowed to mail the mags home to myself, sans-ammo. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2m4Ac8O
