The same way all my weed carts make it through in my carry on. X-ray machines are confusing, and contraband in tiny and is easily obscured.
Well, also they don’t give a shit about weed carts. Their job is security, not drug enforcement. Sure if you had a pound of weed they’d probably stop you, but a vape cart or two? Not worth their time. Especially if it ends up being tobacco. And they can’t tell from the scanner.
lmao, weed carts and tobacco carts are quite different looking, and yes they care about them a lot less than weapons, but they can and will confiscate them if they find them, and they never do.
Depends on the cart, man. You can get some cheap-ass disposable 510 carts for nicotine that don’t look THAT different from the 510 weed carts. The atomizers are completely different, as is the wick, but the average person scanning doesn’t know that.
And as you get into disposable weed vapes they’re not dissimilar from the disposable nicotine ones. Again, different tech for actually vaping, since oils and PG/VG behave differently, but the average person won’t notice.
They're 0-12 for finding the weed cookies I take on vacation lol.
How would they know there was cannabis in the cookies? You're not transporting flower.
No, cannabis is just a coincidence - the TSA just eats all the cookies they find on any traveler. That's why op hides them. Probably in a gun, so they don't suspect cookies.
TSA screeners get paid less than $50,000 a year and have to deal with entitled assholes who argue with them all day. I'd do a half-assed job too.
I’ve had ammo pass through before. TSA is useless.
No serious entity can legitimately claim the arts don’t get funding when security theatre this entertaining exists.
I once accidentally bought pepper spray I forgot was in my bag through TSA.
I'm pretty sure people who work for TSA are in it for the groping and harassment, catching something every once in a while is just a cover
