Any speculation as to how this will turn out?

anybody know what law was broken?
It is unlawful for any person to carry, possess or transport ahandgun in or through the state unless he has a valid New York
license. (A provision of federal law provides a defense to state
or local laws which would prohibit the passage of persons with
firearms in interstate travel if the person is traveling from any
place where he may lawfully possess and transport a firearm to
any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such
firearm and the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles
without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked
container other than the glove compartment or console).
So that covers traveling through the state in a car. Doesn't it seem like it should be kosher to come through the airport with it unloaded and in a locked case, declared no less?
