I think it's implied they were not arrested. What law did they
violate?

If media goes undercover to a used car dealer to show how buyers can
get screwed, you'd probably agree with that. If they go undercover to
an FBO under circumstances which were obviously suspicious, what's the
difference? The targeted auto dealer may be known to be sleazy, but
if the FBO had agreed to the charter, what adjective do they deserve?

If it is illegal to smuggle weapons onto a charter it is also illegal to
attempt to do so.

How far were they prepared to go? If they had displayed the weapons in flight
to prove they could do it it would be just as criminal, in my opinion, as
telling a stewardess in flight you have a bomb even if you didn't.

Your analogy to the crooked car dealer was unfortunate in that one could easily
infer you were saying the charter service was also crooked.
