Travelers may check bags that contain batteries, as long as they are installed in electronic devices.

Firearms & Ammunition
Conditions of Acceptance In accordance with federal law, all firearms must be unloaded, and the transporting passenger must sign a "Firearms Unloaded" declaration affirming that the firearm is unloaded. The declaration form will then be placed inside the container by the passenger and witnessed by a representative. The baggage will be locked at the time of acceptance, with the key or lock combination retained in the passenger's custody. This must be done each time firearms are checked as baggage.
