i haven't flown in awhile, but i have a one hour plane back home from boston. i bought a bowl here which i have been toking out of during my stay. i want to take it with me, but i'm unsure where the best place to put it would be as you not arise any trouble, or having it confiscated.
suggestions? :confused:

Why the fuck would you want rubbing alcohol anywhere near something you're gonna smoke? Boil the fucken thing and scrape it, don't be usin rubbing alcohol or shit like that.
No metal, no liquids, no knives, no guns, no lighter.
And you're all set.

even if they did discover it, wouldn't they just confiscate it and then let me go through? :confused:

should be fine- i mean as long as you dont have any drugs on you i dont thin they can do much about something like that, perhaps actually ring the airport your going into *no joke* and ask about smoking accessories in luggage
If any dogs smell anything, they can strip search you. Now despite if they find anything or not, that is not a pleasant experience. I suggest you clean it REALLY good.

Rubbing alcohol works really well for cleaning out resin from a bowl and it is completely soluble in water, so after you're done cleaning it you can wash it with water and all the alcohol is gone.

i heard that, luckily, they only use narq-dogs in international flights. mine is national, so i don't believe i have to worry about any narq-dogs.
i want to save the resin if possible. i heard that pouring out the water from boiling a bowl into a coffee filter works best for catching it, so i'll probably try that out. the only thing i'm worried about is that they find the bowl, see a bunch of resin in it, and confiscate it for that reason...

If there is no marihuana resin to prove otherwise, it is a tobacco smoking device. If it's clean as a whistle, you're legal and have nothing to worry 'bout.
If it is a national flight - PUT IT IN YOUR FUCKING POCKET.
I've flown NUMEROUS times with pockets full of weed, baggies of heroin, valium, klonopin, my pipe , various other pills.
As long as you don't set off the metal detector because you're one of those idiots who doesn't put EVERYTHING metal they have on the belt - YOU'LL BE FINE.

Either this person is completely stupid, or sees the potential for massive lulz... I'm thinking the second option, but thats besides the point.
Somehow I doubt a person would have very much fun going through the airport like that... Especially if the security idiots decide you look suspicious or stoned...

I had 2 firecrackers (weed/peanutbutter/cracker sandwhiches) in my pocket, and when I went through the metal detector I unbuckled my belt and unbuttoned my pants, without taking my belt off. :( I was a little distracted and tired. That was kinda scary, having the metal detector going off... You get 2 chances, I think, before they use the wand.

Nah, looking back on the times I've flown, I could have had drugs in my pocket, and gotten away with it 100%.
It's just the chance that you don't know if there will be a drug dog there or not, that would deter me from doing it.
It's likely you would be successful, though. It all really just depends on the airport. Where are you from, OP, and where are you flying to?

Also, what is the flight number? Oink oink.
I'm kidding, but it is well known that cops commonly lurk and post here, and I wouldn't want to take that chance.

Um, alright.
It would be easier for me to give him advice knowing what part of the world he was in. If it turns out he's from fucking Singapore, or something, anything I said would be rendered completely fucking useless, as I have no idea how they run their systems.
I guess I see what your point is, though.

Dude, people get on flights shit faced all the fucking time. Are you kidding me? Either drunk, or fucked up on the benzos the doctor prescribed them because they're afraid of flying. Seriously. Airport security deals with thousands of people every fucking hour. Why would they care if you look stoned? Some people just look dog fucking tired because - oh yeah - that's right - THEY'VE BEEN FUCKING FLYING FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS.
It's all good, man, trust me.
Why would the airport want to waste valuable time, money and security looking for people with drugs?
They're focused on the BIG drug runners and people who pose a danger to the welfare of other passengers/flight personnel.

No metal, no liquids, no knives, final destination.

Fixed.
I have no clue how the security is wherever you are, but I would just put it in my pocket, unless it's a metal bowl. In which case I would put it in my luggage, the one that isn't in the cabin. But seriously when I glanced this I thought it said bowels...

Forget the resin, for real. That shit is not worth catching a drug paraphernalia charge over. Isopropyl alcohol and sea salt, pour a bunch of both in a small tupperware container, throw that bowl in, let it sit for a while, and shake the hell out of it. Scrape it if needed, repeat until sparkling clean. And yes, this method WILL make that bowl clean like it's never been smoked out of if you do it right. Put it in your luggage and go, even if they decide it's worth taking a close look at, as long as it's clean and you don't go alluding to it being used for illegal substances, there isn't really much they can hassle you for over it.
If it were me, and it wasn't like a really nice expensive piece or anything, I'd just completely bake out on the way to the airport, I mean seriously toke the fuck up, and then ditch everything and head in to enjoy my flight :cool:

Sell your bowl on ebay, fuck your friend. Make sure you use something good to clean it before though
I talked to a friend a while ago that works in Canadian airport security, they don't look for bowls and don't confiscate them; however, that doesn't mean that other countries do the same.
For example, the US swabs suspicious, as well as random, baggage, that's going into the country, for drugs. Canada swabs baggage, that's coming into the country and leaving the country, for bombs.
Canada's only anti-drug tool at the airport is the dog.

I brought two bongs back to Ireland from Spain. It's really only as simple as putting it in your luggage.

Just put it in your bag that is going into the hold?
If you don't have it in your hand luggage, it should be ok.
At least, that's how it works in the UK and Europe.

Domestic*A-B-C.
Fixt.
I brought a pipe that I bought in Jamaica back into the United States and they didn't do anything. I just stuck it in the checked baggage though,I didn't try to carry it on.

Domestic airport security is not a dragnet for casual drug users. You should carry any illegal drugs on your person though, all checked baggage is randomly checked and sniffed, and obviously they see everything in your carry on.

Stick it in a ziplock bag or 2 and seal it(vacuum preferably). Then wash the outside with acetone/alcohol/whatever works for getting rid of the smell.

i know a kid who put an OZ in a deadorant container in his checked luggage. He took all the seeds and shake out b4. I would not reccomend this lol.
Why is this thread still going on? I already told you the answer - and NO, I don't want lulz, it's the honest to God truth.
If you are flying domestic, simply put anything illegal you have IN YOUR POCKET.
When you go to walk through the metal detector, make sure (obviously) you have no metal on you - and that's that.
I've flown domestic about 6 different times (I'm just talking about the trip in general, not including there and back, but if I would, it would be 12 times) On ALL occasions I've had my bud and my pipe on me.
On a few of the occasions, I've had a few stacks of heroin, lots of valium, klonopin, ativan, dilaudid and ambien.
The airport isn't particularly interested in people carrying around drugs for personal use. They're interested in someone who is going to endanger the welfare of the flight crew/passengers.
IF THERE IS A DOG THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BOMBS AND EXPLOSIVES.
Not drugs. And even if they WERE looking for drugs, the dogs aren't going to sniff YOU - so what does it matter?
In the pocket, my friend. And, don't act like a shady fuck.

this.
If you clean ALL the drug residue out it's not paraphanelia, just a pipe. Smoke a little tobbaco out of it and the cops won't know what to think.

Because it 1. washes off easily and 2. EVAPORATES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE? Dont chat shit about subjects you know nothing about.
