Heh - Yeah the airline WILL NOT wish to loose track of luggage containing firearms, and the TSA doesn't want the airline staff getting internal access to luggage containing firearms.

Sounds like good advice - it also keeps the airline industry used to dealing with us pesky 2nd Amendment friendly types as a part of everyday business :-)

Seconded, Kent. Hertz is getting a lot of my travel money; the airlines get none.
