I will post my pics tomorrow when i get home. My phone is not convenient for this. I am currently waiting for boarding.

Walking into dfw with a guncase was weird. The people at check in were very friendly and took me to a private place where i could unlock the case and tsa inspected it. The TSA officer complimented me on the sword.

So that part seems under control. No i am just curious how they will react to 30 pounds of raw bloomery steel in my suitcase.
