  Well, the idea is that you declare at security that there is a
starter's pistol in your checked bag.  This makes them follow a
procedure that forbids any interim openings of the bag.  The inspect
it in your presence, you lock it, they mark it, and it doesn't get
re-opened until you reclaim it at your final destination.

Seems like a lot of trouble.

I'll probably just figure out how to be happy with just one trombone
on the trip.
