I've wondered about that too; airport sniffers must have encountered Miracle Gro and angina nitro during the early days, measuring a false alarm rate. Shooting is scary; you could contaminate your car driving back from the range, then contaminate your travel gear.
About a year ago I got on a plane and flew cross country with an empty .22LR case wedged in the cleats of my boots. I discovered it in the hotel while polishing my boots (had a wedding to attend the next morning) and was amused. I guess they'd pick that up now, and I'd spend a few hours in the back with nurse ratchet and a box of rubber gloves. -- J.
