Never place your weed in your luggage - checked or carry-on.

Keep it next to your private parts, I recommend using two pair of whitey-tighties or granny-panties and pack it next to the package. Quick access, easy in-and-out, and spare underwear if they loose your luggage.

Since this thread documents a very dynamic situation, do not depend on the first post - please review the last dozen posts for the most current information.

First, understand that Airports are not dragnets for MJ; Drug dogs are not searching domestic travelers for dank, puffer machines are not sniffing for weed, and you enjoy the same civil rights in an airport as you would walking down the street.

Second, by purchasing an airline ticket you have only agreed to an administrative search of yourself and your personal effects (luggage) for the safety and security of the aircraft. The job of conducting this search was federalized after 9/11 to the TSA - and they use multiple layers of screening to make sure the terrorist do not succeed again. None of which would have prevented the 9/11 actions - but all hinder the travel with MJ.

Third, do not believe that you can "hide" the MJ from one layer of security (i.e. x-ray) without being caught for another (hand search of luggage). Always keep it on your person, I use only the whitey-tightey method.

Fourth, the TSA Screener is not a Law Enforcement Officer. They are directed to report the finding of MJ, or associated paraphernalia, to the LEO assigned to the Airport. If you are caught with MJ, you will be cited for whatever the local ordinance is - usually under the State Law governing - but you will be cited because the TSA needs the score.

The TSA has a blog which frequent flyers call PV for Propaganda Village, but it is worth being aware of. TSA.gov/blog

Frequent Flyers use FlyerTalk.com for their forum to discuss the security theater.

And I'll try to keep you posted here on Marijuana.com

so one question is :

they say they might be substituting the metal detectors with those body scanners .

your advice , bart, if they use the body scanners ,is to ask for a patdown.

if they substitute a metal detector with a body scanner,will we still have the right to ask for a patdown ?

i know someone who has been flying yearly for some 20 years. hes got one of those nifty wood containers with the one hitter in the side. hes been putting it in his carry on bag every trip and has never been stoped. i personally dont have the balls to bring pot on a plane, but there r ppl who do.

BartSimpson

As of today, yes.

One of the reasons for starting this thread is because the situation is about to change and unless certain Court cases prevail on privacy, you will be butt-naked in an MMW scan or Backscatter x-ray.

BartSimpson

Lucky, yes. There are a lot of reasons that this particular paraphernalia does not trigger a "resolution" search but if it does, finding contraband gets a mandatory report by the TSA.

The x-ray image is screened by a computer more and more these days - looking for differences.

Thanks Bart.

Also, I was wondering, how fullproof is the tightey-whitey method? Like are they allowed to search you there? Would dogs smell it if I had it on me? Would it help if I multi-bagged it and inside the extra bags put oranges, peppers etc?

I am going to my grandparents for a month in a small town, no cops, people drink/smoke, young/old so it would be perfect if I had some mj with me.

BartSimpson

The whitey-tightey method is effective in domestic travel because they are not searching for MJ specifically. When you go through a Customs Inspection, they are searching for MJ.

The folly of youth is to focus on dog searches - which you cannot defeat with another smell. There are multiple layers in security and customs searches including x-ray, behavior detection, interview and backgound investigation.

If it is so laid back at Grammy's, why not make it part of the adventure to safely and properly score some weed/hash there. It is not that hard.

You are right, it is easy, I even know a specific person I can go to that will sell me mj but the quality of where I am going is probably low so that's why I was just wondering on these misc. methods.

Back on topic, I'm not recommending international smuggling at all, but I have been through a few in Europe and it really seems that it mostly depends on where you go as far as how strict security is. I've never been searched at an airport, even though I was once asked if I was drunk. So Bart, does the whitey-tighty method effectively hide the smell?

herblover100

leprechaunstoner the whitey tightey method cud work but if theres a dog ur screwed cuz they smell in layers, that means they can smell the weed, cologne if u put some on the weed etc
