Incorrect.

It's not allowed to FAIL TO DECLARE that you have firearms in your checked luggage.

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1666.shtm

Failure to adhere to the following regulations will preclude passengers from traveling with firearms, ammunitions or firearm parts:

        Travelers must declare all firearms to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process.
        The firearm must be unloaded.
        The firearm must be in a hard-sided container.
        The container must be locked. A locked container is defined as one that completely secures the firearm from being accessed. Locked cases that can be pulled open with little effort cannot be brought aboard the aircraft.
        If firearms are not properly declared or packaged, TSA will provide the bag to law enforcement for resolution with the airline. If the issue is resolved, law enforcement will release the bag to TSA so screening may be completed.
        TSA must resolve all alarms of checked luggage. If a locked container containing a firearm alarms, TSA will contact the airline, who will make a reasonable attempt to contact the owner and advise the passenger to go to the screening location. If contact is not made, the container will not be placed on the aircraft.
        If a locked container alarms during screening and is not marked as containing a declared firearm, TSA will cut the lock in order to resolve the alarm.
        Travelers should remain in the area designated by the aircraft operator or TSA representative to take the key back after the container is cleared for transportation.
        Travelers must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition.
        Firearm magazines and ammunition clips must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm.
        Small arms ammunition, including ammunition not exceeding .75 caliber for a rifle or pistol and shotgun shells of any gauge, may be carried in the same hard-sided case as the firearm, as long as it follows the packing guidelines described above.
        TSA prohibits black powder or percussion caps used with black-powder.

Xbox live - people are willing to pay money so that the network is maintained, and has a higher level of security.

April 20th to May 14th. A Google search for "PlayStation Network outage" should refresh your memory of the UN-superior performance of the free gamers network.

It is entirely consumer choice.

Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
