U.S. governors urge Turks and Caicos to release Americans as Florida woman becomes 5th tourist arrested for ammo in luggage - Lemmy.World

I donโ€™t understand how ammo ends up in someoneโ€™s luggage. Itโ€™s not like people pack their ammo in luggage to go to the gun range. but I know someone that works for TSA and I believe they said finding bullets in luggage is the most common way people get in trouble.
I want to know why. Are they going to gun stores while traveling and saying, โ€œholy shit! Hornady Critical Defense 9mm for $20 a boxโ€ฝ I canโ€™t pass this deal up!โ€ Thatโ€™s the only thing I can think of.
Seeing a great deal and spontaneously buying it is understandable, but why would they open up the box and allow ammo to roll around loose in the car?
Oh, well thatโ€™s because sometimes it falls out of the box when youโ€™re loading. Itโ€™s especially tricky if youโ€™re trying to load while driving, I can tell you! Ha ha.
Shitty paper boxes with heavy contents get beat up and broken pretty easily.
