my 2cents, i think you'd be fine through the metal detector
my other cent, wayyy too big of risk for a very small reward--it's not just metal detectors you gotta worry about, like andar said
i completely agree.. i had an incident at the airport and landed in jail while my gf went on her merry way to italy.. to say it sucked big black balls would be a huge understatement...
i had a very small amount of bud, under a gram, and had put it in a metal camels snuz box so it wouldn't just be laying around on my coffee table at home as i have family that stops by often and what not..
10 minutes before i left for my flight, i saw the box of snuz on the table, which i had bought because you can't smoke cigs on a plane any more and i was going on like a 9 hour flight to europe.. i saw the box and didn't give it a second thought and threw it right on the top of my carry on luggage and went on my merry way...
i got to the airport, and i tend to have this nervous tick that i don't even know when it's happening, and i was only nervous about flying and excited to go on my vacation.. well, it was enough for one of the security people to pull me out of line and go through my luggage.. at first i wasn't worried about a thing as i didn't have anything to hide, or so i thought.. dude pulls out one pack of the snuz and asked what it was and i told him spitless chewing tobacco things, then he found the second one, which had been opened, and he opens it and out falls the small amount of bud...
i tried telling them i didn't know it was in there, blah blah blah, just throw it in the fucking trash or w/e, and i turn around to see 3 cops coming my way..
spent the night in a nasty ass roach infested cell before getting released on ror a few hours later.. get back to the airport, find out my tix and now worthless, including my return flight, and had to pay about $1500 for a new set of round trip tix, and like i said, my gf, whom i was supposed to meet at a connecting city, was enjoying herself in europe with out me...
what a fucking mess, and the worst fucking part was i wasn't even trying to sneak the bud on, if i had been, i would have felt way better about the whole thing as i would have known i was being stupid and fucked up on my own ... but no, i had simply forgot it was there and fucked myself over.. try explaining that shit to those fucking airport security people.. it aint happening..
my sugestion is to either go without, or find it when you get there, or to mail it to where ever you are going so it will be there when you get there...
