Well on a trip to Orlando TSA made me miss my flight because I did not take my laptop out of the bag. Then they tried to force me to go through the TSA time machine and I refused. Have you noticed they only pick on white people. If it was anyone else it would be racist discrimination
If you are carrying valuable items such as large amounts of currency, coins or jewelry, we recommend that you ask Security Officers to screen you and your carry-on luggage in private. This will maintain your security and avoid public scrutiny.

Yeah the damn TSA acted the same way when the guy ahead of me was found to have a large collection of child porn in his carry-on. When are people gonna stand up to these freedom hating nazi/TSA agents.
Tsa grabbed my 10 oz silver bars on my last flight in September 2011. I had 10 of them and they took them out of my suitcase and re-ran them through the scanner. At the time they were worth about $4000. I thought they where going to steal them, but they gave them back to me. BTW, I also had to opt out and get grouped 3 times on the trip

forgive my general ignorace of the precious metals market and what not but is it normal to fly around with 40 grand of silver(4k eachx10) or is this simaler to how some jewlers will fly around with loose diamonds just seems like a lot of silver to be lugging around an airline but as i said i dont know to much about how this stuff works other then what i have seen in movies or learned from friends
