no, but im patted down quite often. it might just be flattery for my nice ***, but i think its because airport security is fairly vigilant. I think it would be MUCH easier just to conceal a broad, flexible, 7 inch blade in the sole of your shoe. as long as you had eyelets or buckles or steeltoes or something to blame it on, i dont think you would have a problem at all.
a gun would be quite the trick though. it would need to be a single shot weapon, homemade, and you would need to carry the bullets in something seperate like your wallet that you could drop in the tray and not have scanned. even with a gun, i think you could only count on getting one shot off. i would hate to be embarassed by a misfire with my only shot, and on a holy crusade that kind of embarasment would be relly bad.
maybe they could have a bunch of people come thru with gun parts and then the guy with the ticket could assemble them in the bathroom and stuff it in his carry-on after he is thru security. If i stripped my automatic down to component parts, the only thing that would be recognized by the xray technicians would be the lower reciever. and i think i could fix that with a saw, a bracket, and a couple bolts. that or use something with a carbon fiber lower so you can conceal it on your person, and re-attach it to the upper on the other side.
