Don’t know that I’d try that. In theory, you are correct, but, it can be hard to make that point wearing handcuffs, in the back of a squad car. Law inforcement doesn’t care how long or how much money it costs to sort your troubles out.

In theory, you can land at Heathrow with a gun. Or, leave from there with same. But, nobody does that, either.

Best,
