    Are you assuming this was military? Lynden Air Cargo owns a fleet of new c130’s. This was just an air charter.

    I’m on the tarmac a decent amount, and take lots of pics/video of my freight and it’s securement. I’m not paying to rebuild a jet engine!

    I will add that I do go to cool places that have a no pic policy. I was at one today in @Ruthless neck of the woods that confiscates your phone, cameras, laptops/tablets while you’re inside the fence. I wish I could have taken pics that one time I backed in a building next to an assembled Delta rocket that launched the following week, or the day I loaded on the pier with the USS Georgia.

    See I would love to do these types of loads. Problem I have is most of the brokers are retarded. When I ask questions, they never know what's going on, so when I reveal that I'm in possession of firearms they automatically back out.
    Bases, govt buildings I'm always fine, but the places like Joe shmoes pharmaceuticals or whatever in Memphis that put hands on the couple when they tried to leave is my worst fear. Some rentacop lays hands, and I'm putting rounds down range.

    I’ve delivered to a Honda racing place that confiscated my phone and had me sign an NDA which was cool. Was just delivering drywall type stuff lol.

    I love hauling some military freight. Usually it’s depots which you are in and out. The huge bases can take forever. I haul a lot of helicopter blades and the way they are boxed in the crates make them look like missles and people ALWAYS wonder and ask me if they are bombs.
     
    Tombstone69 and QuietStorm Thank this.

    Honda knows all too well about pirating, they've been doing it for years. I've been to quite a few superfund sites back in my sheet pile days. Never had anything confiscated, but I couldn't get out of my truck without a white suit, always enjoyed the free truck wash on the way out.

    All I can say is some things are taken out of context and way too serious, not by you.
