The shape of silver matters most when traveling

Today a customer came in for an ounce of silver. I had a bar, a round, a Lego block, a silver army man and legal tender coins , I.e., Eagles, Maple Leaf, etc.
None would do. He wanted a silver bullet. I had none in stock and spoke to the higher premiums. He didn’t care about the price or such. When I asked “why” the bullet, he wanted to give another to a friend who’s bullet was confiscated by the TSA when he was traveling.
What’s not in the news ?

    you'd think the first TSA hiring requirement would be a brain.

    Does being a fiancial whiz with dollars make one an expert with gold?

    Sadly no. It's probably more like how much can you confiscate for the good of the books and stats.

    I actually saw tsa take a silver necklace that had a silver 'bullet' on it from a guy in 2019. He was none too happy.

    Did you have any of these ? I’ve heard these called silver bullets.

    I could understand a silver bullet as a novelty if it worked... but these bullet shaped bullions don't make a bit of sense to me.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
