Well if the agent was on duty then they shouldn't charge him with anything. But if he was off-duty, then he should get a fine or something like that for the incident. But not jailtime.

I agree, seeing as he's a "law man" he shouldnt get any jail time, but as 10DeadInside10 said, it depends on whether he was on or off duty.

I would say that would be true if it was an intercontinental flight, but he was in another country. He should know that he can not do the same things there as he can here and is subject to their laws unless he was on duty, and even then discression must be used.

I've heard before that the special agents should be trained for always carrying ammo with them at all time. Does this go for the FBI agents too?

"Police arrested an American FBI agent who allegedly was carrying 15 rounds of ammunition in his hand luggage as he tried to change planes in Hong Kong,

If he was on duty or allowed to carry amunition then I do not think he would have been arrested in the first place.He should be charged as any other person that was guilty of the same crime.If a person that is supposed to be up-holding the law does not even have the common sense not to carry .45 ammo when your on an airplane in china..I have little sympathy for him and I hope he serves some hard time in a chinese prison.
