[spaghetti]

as an italian, I normallly fly (to sicily or sardinia from continental Italy) with my spearguns packed with normal luggage. Never had any serious problems. The very only problem (just a waste of time) is that my gunbags are sometimes taken by airport police for control: thence I have to go to the police office, tell them that it's just fishing gear and they say: "ok". After that I simply pick my guns and go free.
