As far as you not taking possession of your bag, that is not always true. I know of a situation where a man was forced by mechanical problems to change planes in NY. The airline transferred all luggage from one plane to the other, but x-rayed it in the process. The saw his gun in checked baggage, and took him off the plane in handcuffs. He could prove he had a non-stop flight around NY, but their response was,

"You're in NY, and you have a gun. End of story."
