Essentially DARE them to arrest the entire passenger list.
The monetary damages and political fallout from documented, malicious, and illegal enforcement activity could be tremendous. If they are unrepentant after they lose, do it again and again until their LE resources are exhausted and they don't have time or money left for anything else.

emphasis mine
They would arrest the entire passenger list without a second thought.

So I wouldn't suggest an individual try this on their own, only that there is federal protection if you are traveling to a place where you may legally posses the firearms, FROM a place that you may legally possess them, if they are unloaded and locked in a hard sided container.

Federal law doesn't amount to a hill of beans if you take possession of the firearms while in New Jersey without the requsite FOID and registration. Without jumping through the proper legal hoops with NJ
before you take possession of the firearms (locked hard-sided case or not) you would be in violation of NJ law. Period.
The only protection the FOPA gives you in this scenario is if you're flying from a state where you're legal to possess the firearms (for instance, Vermont), have a layover in New Jersey (where you
do not take possession of the firearms, and arrive at your destination where you are legal to possess said firearms (for instance, Georgia). The moment you stop in NJ and take possession, they will arrest you.
