Airport Security guards seldom know anything about firearms and have been given almost unlimited powers of search and detention.
It is not worth arguing with one that a jacketed bullet or a lead bullet is not dangerous.
I traded some small cash for a M48 rifle stock with a co worker in the parking lot. I rode my bicycle in that day so I thought I would store it in my office till the end of the day. The security guards in the building not let me bring it into the office. They saw that it was wood, but it was a "rifle" stock.
So it stayed in my Bud's car until we went home. At least they allowed that.
