Not sure what "suss" means, but OK, whatever.
I imagine also that we are talking about items NOT specifically declared.....

I think he was right there!
I like the old lever action shotguns myself, but prefer an automatic. Personal preference you understand.
As for declaring, be careful there. Before one goes to the airport with their firearm please check the local laws. There are a few places where attempting to declare a firearm, even in checked baggage, will get one arrested. Any kind of firearm. Also, attempting to declare a firearm at the checkpoint is only going to get you more attention than you ever wanted.
