From the article:

Security aviation expert Denny Kelly says that’s a problem. "If he's got ammunition, where's the gun? And it doesn't have to be the kind of gun you buy in a gun store; it can be just a piece of metal that serves as a barrel and another thing you screw on it that serves as a chamber, like a 'zip gun,' as the gangs call it, and it can fire a bullet," he said.
I don't know if that's actually true, but there you go.

Checked, as in your checked bag.
