Caught by Airport Security

[hellorhih2o]

I actually wouldn't bring it onboard, I'd check it. You can always claim that someone else slipped it in to your checked suitcase but if you're carrying it, you obviously can't deny knowledge of it.

another possibility is to use a (clean!) visine bottle or something for your gear. there's just no way they could ever know what's actually in the bottle.

i'd have the gear on the inside pocket of a jacket and wear it on the plane.

if they do come across it, tell them you're HIV positive and if they ask for a doctor's note just tell em you didn't want anybody to know so you got the tests done in Mexico.

lame excuse, but if you're a good actor they might sympathize.

the worst thing that can happen is they'll take the gear from you.
you most likely won't be arrested or fined unless you're bringin in a suitcase full of gear.

LOL I like this one.

If they catch the pinz on you here's what you do. Grab the security guards arm and pull him/her very close. Then whisper "I'm HIV positive and need to take my medicine". That'd be enough to freak them out and want you to get the hell away from them and on your way. LOL

I thought checked luggage was only randomly screened. At least last december it was for me. When we were checking my luggage, one of my bags was randomly x-rayed while the rest of the luggage wasn't.

I know carry-on is all checked, but I don't think it's the same for checked luggage.

checked luggage is randomly screened.

Why risk jail for 2 weeks of juice? I don't get it.


If you NEED it

Remember that its much riskier smuggling them on a plane than it is mailing.

Why spend all that time scared at the airport when you can just mail it for about $5 anyways?

Do what AAP about the visine bottle. Thats what i did when i came back from Mexico vacationing. Eye drops, soap, toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant = no suspicion at all. Enough to put in maybe 20 cc in one bottle. Plan on doing it again.

You may not be able to do this, but, I get gear with a prescription. I am going to put it in one of those vials. I called the airport, they said as long as the bottle has prescription info on it you will be fine. They said you can put in checked luggage or carry on. I think I will put vial in carry on and syringes in checked. Remember, diabetics, HRT, etc. have to do this stuff all the time.

Don't count on it!!! Being caught with gear inside the US is not like being caught on the border. If the agent reconizes what it is local police or sheriffs (depending on your area) will most likely be called, if they are not already standing there. The local police will book you for possession. Remember carrying steroids is in the eyes of the law the same as carrying cocaine. You can try the excuse but most officers would not buy it and would request the prescription or book you.
It is very unlikely they will just cite/release you as possesion is a felony.
Don't risk airplanes unless you take some of the advice above and put it in a different container. Its not worth it!!

I had a check in bag randomly searched on my way to vegas for the 01' Olympia. The lady found my syringe and said since it was unopened and being checked, that it was ok. Luckily she didn't find my test/eq cocktail. I was shittin bricks while she was looking though.

Id check it, as long as it doenst look like a bomb i doubt then will even realise what they are looking at. It would be easier if you had glass amps without metal tops, then they wouldnt even show.
