At first I thought this was you but then I read it was a
"de-militarized" weapon and I knew it couldn't be you!
TSA said the passenger didn’t declare the weapon, prompting them to confiscate it. Once they found the anti-tank rifle, agents identified
the passenger and escorted him to their office.
When TSA took the passenger to its office, he was able to provide
paperwork verifying its de-militarized status. An on-duty TSA
explosives specialist also corroborated it was no longer in use.
SAPD said there are no charges pending at this time. After answering TSA’s questions, the passenger was able to rebook his flight to Nevada, albeit without the de-militarized rifle. TSA declared he wouldn’t be able to fly with the prop anti-tank weapon, so he arranged for a family member to retrieve it, according to SAPD.

Decades ago, those Swedish 20mm anti-tank guns became popular for jaded firearm fanciers with bigger dirt piles for gunnery practice than YKW... In fact, IIRC, a wildfire one of them caused, brought a swift ban on where one could shoot steel core

You're right for a change. It wasn't me. I don't have one of those, but
I do have some GPS-guided cowpattiepults. However comma their metrics
and payload prevent them from being carried in checked baggage.
