experience at the airport. Know what you can pack before arriving at the airport by <a href="/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring">checking the prohibited items list</a>. Carrying prohibited items may cause delays for you and other travelers, but they may also lead to fines and sometimes even arrest.</p><p>Passengers may transport unloaded firearms in checked baggage if they are transported in a locked, hard-sided container and declared to the airline before traveling. Consistent with the new ATF definition of firearm, TSA now considers frames, receivers, and 3D printed guns to be firearms under its civil enforcement program. These items remain prohibited items and must be transported in accordance with TSA regulations in a passenger's checked bag. In addition, TSA considers a firearm to be "loaded" when both the firearm and its ammunition are accessible to the passenger. For example, if an individual has a firearm in accessible baggage and ammunition in his/her pocket, or any combination where the individual has access to both, the firearm is considered "loaded" for purposes of assessing a civil penalty. Read the <a href="/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition">requirements for transporting firearms and ammunition</a>. In addition, local and state governments, and other countries, may have their own rules on firearm possession or transportation. As a result, prohibited items may result in both a TSA civil enforcement action and a criminal enforcement action.</p><p>Before leaving home, remember to check your baggage to ensure you are not carrying any prohibited items to avoid a possible arrest and/or civil penalties.</p><h2>Enforcement Sanctions Guidance</h2><h4>Individuals/Travelers</h4><p>TSA may impose civil penalties of up to $17,062 per violation per person. This table outlines some of the penalties that may be imposed on individuals for prohibited items violations and violations of other TSA regulations. Repeat violations will result in higher penalties. <a href="/sites/default/files/enforcement_sanction_guidance_policy.pdf">See the TSA Enforcement Sanctions Guidance Policy</a> for a more detailed list of the penalty guidelines.</p></div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="block"> <div class="quicktabs-accordion" id="quicktabs-enforcement_sanctions_guidance"><h3><a href="#quickset-enforcement_sanctions_guidance_0">Security Violations by Individuals for Prohibited Items Discovered at Checkpoint/Sterile Area/Onboard Aircraft</a></h3><div><div id="" class="" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="" tabindex="0"> <div class="quicktabs-block-title"></div> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-industry-content view-id-industry_content view-display-id-block_2 js-view-dom-id-42dc8b3f72fd40bd9fac3144b9baaa9f34fba2a427a777441b45a71787014337"> <div class="view-content"> <table class="views-table views-view-table cols-0 responsive-enabled"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="priority-medium views-field views-field-body views-align-left"><p>Any flammable liquid or gel fuels, including but not limited to gasoline, lighter fluids, cooking fuels;
