Uhh...does ammunition in a loaded gun not count as an explosive?

Wow, it seems that as strict as airports have been, they would catch EVERYthing, especially a loaded handgun. Just last week, I was in Hawaii and I used my summer biking bag to store my carry on. In my biking bag, I keep several tools in there but I removed all of them (so I thought) and replaced them with extra necessities for the trip. When I landed in Hawaii, I started unpacking my stuff and as I unpacked my biking bag (carry on), I was shocked to find that I had forgot to remove my craftsman folding knife. Knives are definitely not allowed on planes for obvious reasons and with the hard time I got from the TSA's, you would have thought they would have caught that in my baggage. On the bright side, there's $15 I didn't have to throw away.
I used my a gym bag as a carry on and it's the gym bag that I've used many times as a range bag. While coming back from Vegas they found a Swiss 7.5mm round in it. I'm pretty sure that I've been on at least one round trip before that one where they did not find it. I do remember that they actually physically searched the bag on the previous trip (both way) and I thought it was strange that I was getting that attention.
I'm just glad it was a "classic" rifle round and not a pistol round as that one would have raised more suspicions.
Still the TSA guy said that they get their share of bags with ammo in them.
