A few years ago a guy was flying from something like Montana to Maine, with a stop in Detroit (I'm not sure of the exact route.) Anyway, he had declared a checked firearm all nice and proper, but something happened en-route and the plane made an unscheduled landing at JFK. It was late and he caught a flight the next morning. Well, he tried.
You see, it was illegal for him to have brought that gun into New York state. They arrested him. He was convicted of a class 2 felony or something similar. As far as I know, he went to big boy prison. At the very least it ruined his life.
