New Gun procedure in Atlanta

I traveled through Atlanta on the way back from Moz last fall and then again two weeks ago , returning from a hunt in Argentina. Guns are no longer delivered to the oversize luggage door in the customs area. You now go to a little office that customs has set up in the corner ( on your right as you enter the baggage claim area after getting your passport stamped). They deliver the guns directly to that office, the guns are compared to your 4457 form. There is a Dept of Ag rep there too, asking if you were on a farm. He then washes your boots down. Also, the customs guy asked if I had my RENARS (argentine gun permit) form with me. I asked if that was required, he said no. But wanted to see it anyway. Also, those returning (I'll pst this in the south american hunting forum as well) from Buenos Aires, MAKE SURE that you give a copy of your RENARS form to the departing Immigration official, I offered it to the gall in the booth as she stamped my passport. She didn't seem interested in it. I took it and went for my gate. Just before boarding my flight, they paged me. I ad to return to get the gun departure form. BTW- I traveled with my short Tuffpak. First time I had my ammo in a locked ammo box, in with the rifle. I thought the ammo had to be in a locked ammo box, in a separate checked bag. I guess it's a Airline policy, not TSA. Delta seemed OK with it. But European airlines require the separate baggage thing?? Is that right?
