may be a little off the subject.
anyone have experience with product in checked luggage? i am thinking a z of
powder. cheaper to fly than take a godawful three day bus ride. but flying seems
riskier.
on another note, priority mail:
i have received a package successfully, as obviously a lot of people have.
before i heard of SR i was googling about mailing product and priority mail was
said to be a no no as it was airmail and OMFG the shit they put passengers
through it was assumed airmail was xrayed and electro sniffed.

I have had the same question for a while. I am traveling soon to a festival and want to take some of my product along with just enough for personal use. I was thinking about taking it in my carry on because i have my luggage searched almost every time i fly that goes through check in and under the plane. I have carried Adderral and other pills on me through security and never had any problems. Thinking about putting all of my MDMA in capsules and taking it through that way. Any thoughts on this would be great.
-
if capsules are in pill bottle with your rx and capsules match rx i would feel safe.

The TSA is specifically instructed to be searching for threats/bombs, not drugs. However, that does not mean you won't get fucked if they find some in your bag. Especially an ounce of a mysterious powder. You may need to get creative, I've dissolved a good amount of MDMA in water and replaced my shampoo in its bottle with the liquid and checked that. Then you either have to evaporate it or make sure it's evenly dissolved and drink a volume of liquid to its corresponding dissolved amount of drugs. Maybe that was overkill but I was taking it into a country that exercises the death penalty for drug traffickers. The TSA generally don't question small OTC pill bottles you bring with you in your carry on, so it's quite easy to empty a bottle of aspirin and replace with ecstasy pills for example. I'm not sure how bringing through a bunch of clear capsules with whitish powder would go over. If you can find a good way to disperse and hide your amount of powder in your checked bag, you will probably be set. I believe that marijuana is possibly the most commonly smuggled substance, so I'd think that drug dogs at the airport (if there are any, most of the time they are just domb dogs) are usually looking for pot.

I am under the impression TCA can only open up checked luggage, but can not go through sealed items like hygiene kit, etc?

You'd be fucking retarded to walk through an airport with anything on you.

Not being racist, just realistic: If you're in America and you're white, you have nothing to worry about. ;)

If you consider it to be any sort of risk use the alternative, in this car the bus.

If possible, just mail it to yourself at wherever your going. Mailing it international to your hotel even is far safer than walking through the airport with it.

This. You could probably get through with acid without any trouble but anything else is just asking for trouble. I'm not saying it can't be done, you will most likely get through if its a small amount and the airport doesn't have the full body imagers, but its still a pretty dumb risk to take.
-
thanks for replies.
i was not referring to carry on.
i meant luggage you check in before boarding.
think i would use mail.

They can look, and do anything they want.
Don't kid yourself.

Retarded?
No.....
Crazy, a little.
People do it everyday ;)
An once of unexplained powder would be asking for trouble.
Wait, baby powder.....

Wrong, I've gone through the airport with my family and they put the bottle of Johnson&Johnson in the substance screening device :(

Prior to 911, carrying it on you was the preferable method. Just don't give any excuse to pat you down by setting off metal detectors and all was well. Post 911 and the game seriously changed. Depends on what it is, but small amounts of pills are still no sweat to easily blend in with other stuff. As much as I've traveled I've never trusted leaving shit in check in luggage. Not like you're sketching over sassafras smelling dogs are you? ::)
If it's domestic you could just go down to a greyhound station and send it on greyhound express delivery to the greyhound station of your eventual destination and time it to arrive when you get off the plane. I've always thought about doing that but never got around to it. :)

I disassemble the handle mechanism on my carey on and load my pills and rigs inside the sliding handle frame. Never had an issue with ths. Just make sure density isnt too bad

So this board for a site about a sales using a crypto currency to allow anonymous transaction through the mail, with levels of plausible deniability and letters that cannot be opened without a warrant...
And we're discussing bringing drugs into a place where one can be aggressively searched for no reason at all (and since 9-11, have been aggressively searched), which can lead directly to hard time.
Okay.
People do it every day, and the vast majority are fine (pill bottles, rarely opened). But having gone to great lengths to discreetly get the stuff, it seems stupid to me that someone would walk into a fucking airport with it..

Dude I really don't see whatever irony you think you're pointing out. The measures you cited are in order to minimize risk when using the mail to transport illegal drugs for fun and profit. Poorly applied or negligent practices can lead to hard time. Similarly the OP's motive was to minimize risk when transporting drugs through an airport. No one is saying the process should be taken lightly or that similar care should not be given to your methods so your self righteous indignation is over the top.
When you fly a lot whether for work or play you know that travel agendas can change by factors out of your control and if you're spending brief periods in a transient location mailing yourself your personal stash would be difficult to impossible. If you handle these risks by leaving your stuff at home or avoiding airports altogether then good for you but not everyone has that luxury. Yet you don't appear to have done much flying since you've never considered these issues.

Airports are risky to smuggle things through if you carry them on your person, but people do get away with it. I think it would be much safer for you to simply open up a box when you get there and have someone mail it to you.

Sounds great if you're planning on a leisurely vacation in one destination for a number of days. But if I'm on a tight schedule traveling on business, or even half business half pleasure to multiple destinations the last thing I'm going to be doing is opening up a box somewhere waiting for a package to arrive.

Or I have done a lot of flying, but manage to live without drugs for a couple of days?
Seems a small price to pay to avoid walking into a place where no reasonable suspicion at all is required to fucking strip search you. I value my freedom, is all.
But you are right. Different strokes.
The likelihood of opening up an OTC bottle or prescription bottle in your name seems low--I've legally done it tons of times, and have never seen a bottle opened. But I just don't understand staking my liberty on the whims of a TSA screener possibly suffering from Little Hitler Syndrome.

If you really do a lot of flying, then you do it for biz. Never really knowing where you are going.
People need their recreational drugs.
If you do a lot of flying, you learn the holes.
Your body holes aren't a good spot anymore :'(
Nor is any hiding bottle, device, etc.
We not taking about moving any weight, just personal amounts.
I think you better off not hiding it.
One day I past through massive TSA security with a 6 inch screw driver.
It came to me why they missed it. Things that look, like normal things, and density.
So if you have a hat made of weed, and you put weed in the hat, it's looks like a hat under x-ray.
Been using that "hole" every since.
I always opt out, just for the body pat down ;)
I may even hand the TSA agent my drugs :P
Thank you, for my hat sir. ;D
I would agree do not take doing any of this lightly.

Nah. If you'd done a lot of flying you'd be aware of the sort of pitfalls that turn your "couple of days" into a cruel joke. Massively backed up lines, a late flight, missed connection, or any number of other factors out of your control can turn an already cumbersome saga into pure misery without your personal stash. If you'd done a lot of flying you would recognize how ridiculous it is to suffer until you can open up a mailbox at your destination and wait for its arrival, and that's assuming you have someone you can totally depend on to mail it to you immediately after passing on your newly opened box #. And like uniwiz said, if you'd done a lot of flying it would have been because of work where you know how travel agendas are always subject to change. You'd be aware that you can't have something mailed to you when you might not even be there by the time it arrives.

You seem so obsessed with theory that you ignore the reality. Are you going to get searched for no reasonable suspicion at all? No, it's not going to happen. They just don't have the time. If they decide to go gestapo on you it's because you gave them reason. With crowds, cameras, and supervisors never far away no screener is going to spend time fucking with you when you give them no reason to while dozens of passengers miss their scrutiny that could give them reason. There are awards and bonus' involved with confiscating contraband so they're going to hit up who they think gives them the best shot of cashing in.

Do you know how much of your rights and liberties you risk giving up when you choose to own and drive a vehicle? Your idealism has you hung up on the technicality that airport screeners can legally strip search you for no reason at all, even though they never would and are otherwise preoccupied with finding the people who do give them reason. The reality is that when you own and drive a vehicle you're also subject to cops pulling you over and questioning you for no reason at all, and further searching your vehicle if they feel like it. They might not have had specific and articulable facts to pull you over but many of us know from experience that they'll just make up bullshit to justify whatever they decide to do to you since if it comes down to your word against theirs you always end up as the one bent over. And some bored cop is far more likely to find a reason to target you for misery than a constantly preoccupied TSA screener unable to hide from all the eyeballs. So if you depend on your vehicle to get around, wouldn't it it be retarded to think traffics just transporthile driving your car since you face the risk of staking your liberty on the whims of a cop with little hitler's complex? After all, we know how common an affliction that is amongst pigs.

And the solution is to mail the drugs to the hotel you will be staying at. If your not planning on staying at one, then change your plans lol. It's a lot easier and less risky to arrive with no paranoai and a beautiful letter waiting at the Hotel's front desk for you :).
I might risk it if I were taking a greyhound, I know they don't give a fuck. But if it involves crossing borders, i'm not sure what greyhounds policy is when you get to the border.
