In JFK,LGA, and EWR the airline agent will not allow you to check in your bag until they have a PAPD officer come by and verify you can have a weapon in NYC. If not, you get arrested, charged, and booked.

Even though it is not the airlines job to determine if you are or are not in compliance with NYC laws, this is exactly what they are doing. They should be checking your bag through.... but they detain you there until they can get a PAPD officer to come over.
