The weapon was undeclared, which is required when traveling with firearms or other weapons.
According to the TSA, firearms may only be transported if it is unloaded and inside a locked hard-sided container inside a checked luggage. The firearm and ammunition must be declared to your airline when checking in your bag at the ticket counter. The container that is securing the firearm must not be easily opened.
Bringing an unloaded firearm with accessible ammunition to the security checkpoint may be met with the same penalties as one carrying a loaded firearm to the checkpoint. Ammunition must also be transported in checked luggage. Check with your airline for quantity limits on ammunition.
