How to transport illegal items in your carry-on;

Transporting illegal items through an airport is not easy these days, unless you have someone on the inside helping you out. That would in most cases be the best thing, even though it involves trusting someone with that kind of info about what you are going to do. We’ll concentrate on doing it on your own, for simplicity.

Your carry-on will pass through an x-ray scanner on your way through the security checkpoint. This is your obstacle. So how do we beat something that can see through fabric, plastic, rubber, whatever your luggage is made of? If something is placed inside the bag, like a metal plate, to block the image, that will trigger a manual check of your bag, almost certainly blowing your scheme wide open. X-ray operators have, on average, only five seconds to clear a bag when it passes through the scanner and pops onto his or her screen. This is something that we can take advantage of when trying to pass the checkpoint with something illegal in the bag or briefcase.

Getting something you shouldn’t have through security comes down to taking advantage of the operator’s limited time to clear your bag, and a little technical insight into how a bag scanner displays your bag on the screen.
We’ve been over the color scheme before, and below is a typical image generated by a leading brand x-ray scanner;

You’ll see that there’s three bottles of liquid there, likely at least one Coca-Cola, based on the shape of the bottle, there’s a camera or two, a lens, a few batteries, a stack of cd’s, zippers, glasses, and so on. Now, you don’t see the stack of cd’s? That’s because they’re edge up in the side pocket at the bottom of the image. It’s a greenish blur there.

This is the main point. If you manage to place an item in your bag so that the edge of say, a knife, is “up” when it goes through the scanner, then it will show up as only a line. If that stack of cd’s had been knife blades, there would only be a bunch of blue lines down there on the screen. That might (probably will) prompt a re-check, but usually, one will not.

Camouflage is another method. Making one thing look like another on the scanner screen is not really all that hard. You can, for example, take advantage of densities in the item. A log of marzipan, for instance, shows up looking exactly like dynamite. (So that’s a bad thing to bring.) But all metal will be blue, all dense plastics and some light metals will be green, while everything organic will show up orange.

Visualize how things will look on the screen when you pack your illegal item in the bag, and place it to create the least amount of visible signature on the screen – you have to make it be a stealth fighter.

Now open.

Having said all this, you see that it comes down to mostly luck, and a little insight, to get something through airport security. It’s by no means very hard, but just a tiny little wrench in the works, thrown by a security officer actually paying attention, will land you in jail and big trouble. If you’re in the US, it might get you on the no-fly list, and that’s pretty bad.

  1. I have technology to elimate all TSA “Pat Downs” and find every single Terrorist Type material known to man inside the Human Body. I am not intrested in selling the idea or making money.

    All I need is an introduction.

    Dr. Robert B.Turcotte

    1. Prepare small stacks of money and put it in an envelope and put it in the bottom of your bag. First place a newspaper on the bottom of ypur bag and put the stacks of money and than other newspaper.

  2. M tryna bring back a plastic bb gun it doesnt have an orange tip tho, can yu tell me how to take it back to canada? Imleaving from bangladrsh to dubai n from dubai to toronto

      1. How would I get a small ammount of “cbd” flower through security? I’m in a wheelchair if that’s important

  3. Is it possible to get a cell phone through a metal detector if you wrap it in carbon fiber tape or electric shielding tape? And does it increase the hiding effect if you have it hidden in your body cavity?

    1. Yikes. Well, “shielding” doesn’t work. Sticking your phone up…somewhere might work, but there are no guarantees, and it would be guaranteed to stick you in a small room with unfriendly people if you’re caught.
      Also, cell phones are allowed on planes – why not just send it through the x-ray?

      1. So will shielding it work on a prison X-ray machine ? I’m looking to wrap a iPhone in a layer of aliminum hidden inside a stereo

  4. i want to send some indian hemp out of my country , through courier mail, so i need to know how i packege it so that it crosses the airports of both my country and that of where it is going to.

  5. hi, i would like to carry 2 to 3 laptop to india. the problem is that ill hav to pay the customs if it gets detected by the x-ray !
    The problem is how i should carry the laptops through the x-ray machine without being detected !
    PLS HELP !
    URGENT !

  6. I would like to bring an baby elephant in my hand-baggage and aprox. 100 kg titanium (for dental use). How do I do that?

    1. Well, the titanium is a no-brainer. Titanium will bond with human bone, so you simply pull a Wolverine and have a mad scientist inject it into your skeleton. It might sting a little, but worth it, right?
      As a bonus, that leaves you with one less piece of luggage too! 100 kg should be just right for one skeleton. After that, you simply walk through the checkpoint. When the thingy howls, just tell’em you have a hip replacement or something.

      The elephant is the real problem. Send us some cute pictures of it, and we’ll take a look at it before we tell you what to do with it.

  7. i have 2 bbguns from plastic in my luggage and i want to take it from dubai to amsterdam is that possible ???

    1. As long as they’re plastic toys and not illegal in the country/district you’re going to (or from), sending them in your checked luggage is probably going to be fine. The automated x-ray machines will, most likely, not react to the “organic” profile image that your plastic bb-guns will create, and so your bags won’t be searched. If they are searched the guns will most likely be sent through, providing, as already said, they’re legal in the jurisdictions you’re traveling between.

  8. I play Airsoft here in Dubai.
    My sister went home to our country just recently.
    I want her to bring back to me 2 to 3 drum magazines for my toy gun (airsoft gun). It looks like a small rounded metal BB container.
    How can this be done?

  9. i have a flashlight that is metal and is intended to look like a bullet. any way i can sneak that through?

    1. That’s not a good idea, Bruce, but you should find everything you need in our articles here. Note that there’s a whopping 3 pages of info.

    1. Small gold bars aren’t illegal or unwanted… unless they have a pair of wings and a couple of the 19th letter on them…
      Insurance, and put them in your checked luggage. Or your carry-on if you can. They’ll show up on the x-ray, of course, but that shouldn’t really pose a problem as long as it’s your gold…

  10. Is it possible to send something through overnight mail by useing photocopy paper to hide it from there exrays does that work just curious

    1. No, that’s not possible. In order to block x-rays, you need to use lead, and that will probably raise some questions in itself.

      1. That’s not true. There are multiple other substances that block xrays. Some sorts of tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), tungsten (W) bismuth (Bi), as well as a few others also block xrays. They sell xray broof mylar bags on Amazon, though I don’t personally know how well those ones work.

  11. Trying to bring a small metal piece used as a bowl attatchment for a slide on a marijuana bong. Just wanted to throw it in my carry-on. Its about the size of a marble. Think that will be alright to do?

    1. Shouldn’t be a problem… you might want to think up some other possible use for it though, just in case anyone asks. 😉

  12. Im trying to bring a knife that i got in thailand to the us, how would i hide it if it was in my checked bags?

  13. This is probably the most innocent “illegal” item ever but…I am returning home from a 3 month trip in Beijing, as a going a way gift I was given a vacuum sealed goldfish. It is alive and in over 2 oz of water but in a very secure plastic bubble. How can I bring this little guy home?!

    1. Well… it’s not really the most innocent illegal item ever… Live animals/fish are not things you should bring with you at all. Chances are that you won’t get it through security, and even if you did, it may be sensitive to the pressure changes you will be experiencing on a flight, causing injury and/or death. To it, at least.
      In addition to that, you might get into some serious customs trouble if you try to bring it across the border – live animals can carry diseases, and there’s a reason why it’s strictly regulated and enforced. Short answer? Don’t do it.

    1. Knives aren’t prohibited in checked baggage. People go to Switzerland and buy Swiss steel all the time, right? Right.
      As long as the knife is legal where you’re going, you should be fine. And it should be fine too.

  14. i want to take some illegal cds from mexico to us wud thy tell me anyting or how do i hide it plz help urgent my flight is tomorow¡¡¡

    1. What are illegal cd’s? Also, we’ve covered how CD’s look on the x-ray – refer to that and you might be able to hide them. Might, mind you.

  15. I’m trying to fly a brain out of the US for a surgery out in the SE Asia and I don’t want to be slown down with checked baggage. Got any tips?
    I was thinking of wrapping the brain in foil and then my clothes to keep it cold and steady then swallow the tools for the surgery and calling it a hip replacement. Am I doing this right? Please hurry my flight leaves in 24 hours. I don’t know what to do?

    1. I think you’ve actually nailed it there, Skar3krow. We we’ve discussed your predicament all night, and we really can’t come up with a better method than that – in fact, if you allow it, we’ll just refer others with similar troubles to you in the future, since we’ve clearly been bested when it comes to thinking around security. 😉

  16. What about hollow can safes, are they safe in checked luggage or will the cavity and it’s contents be visible?

    1. Anything of metal that is thick (or dense) enough will be solid blue/black on the screen, but remember that any large metal mass might prompt a search of your baggage.

  17. i’m on vacation in amsterdam and i wonna bring a little weed with me back home can i just put it in my back pack in a sealed bottle and let it go trough the x ray machine ? i mean a small amount is harmless right

    1. Please see the comment reply to the other guy wanting to smuggle some “legal bud”. If it’s illegal, you shouldn’t bring it. You shouldn’t break the law, period.
      Our articles aren’t here to help you smuggle things – what you use the information for is your own, personal responsibility, but the intended use is informational. We believe that revealing security flaws leads to those flaws being mended, and that is our goal. Not for you to bring contraband back from Amsterdam.
      That being said, you should read through our articles on reading an x-ray security image.

  18. Do you know of security xray-ing people. The new xray scaners see through your clothing but do the xrays see into the body. What stops someone from putting something in a body cavity or swallowing something . I have heard of xray being used only if they think you are acting funny and then pull that person out of line for the xray. ture or false?

    1. Hi. We’ve written quite a bit on the subject of body scanners – take a look around; you’re sure to find a few useful nuggets here and there.
      Body scanners that use “x-ray” radiation can’t see into your body. They see past your clothes, but the desity of the skin is too much for the radiation to penetrate – i.e. the skin absorbs it. Remember that the x-rays in security scanners, both the body scanners and x-ray machines are generated by a high-viltage coil, NOT radioactive material. It makes for controllable, weak radiation – just enough to penetrate clothing or low-desity objects in your carry-on.

      X-rays are harmful, however, and it looks like these machines (termed “active” body scanners as opposed to the passive scanners that only measure millimeter wave radiation FROM your body instead of exposing the body TO radiation) are headed for a ban, in the EU/EEC at least.

  19. if someone were taking a mid-size electronic device, like a receiver, desktop or game console through the airport in their check-in bag, would that alone give tsa an intent to hand check or recheck the luggage? would you still be able to see organic matter or plastic if it was tucked inside one of these devices? do the xray machines covering the checkin luggage screen multiple angles of the baggage?

    1. Hi.
      In short, it might.
      It’s important to remember that checked-in luggage is subject to automatic scans, which are indeed done in multiple angles. Organic matter tucked inside an electronic device is almost certain to set off a manual check by a human, especially if the organic matter us dense enough. Remember that common explosives (dynamite/tri-nitro-tylol) usually show up with the same density reading as a regular block of white cheese.

  20. Hello

    I work on a oil rig in Brazil, I fly from Canada to Brazil two times a month. Just like in a airport my bag going through a x-ray mechine. when i am boarding the chopper. I am not soppose to take my IPhone on the rig, If they find it they will “hold on to it for me” till i come back, so i will never see it agian, Can i rap it in something ? put it in something? Leaving in a few days.
    Thanks

    1. Hi Chris. Electronic devices are hard to conceal from an x-ray operator – they’re some of the easiest things to spot, in fact, and rightly so.
      Your best chance would be to read through our tutorial on how to interpret an x-ray image, and experiment with where and how you place your ‘pod.

  21. Hello,
    I will be flying from the United States to Switzerland, and I want to bring back a Swiss Army knife. However, to save money, I only want to bring carry-on luggage. If I place the knife under my iPhone in my bag, will the X-ray machine be able to detect it? If not, is there another way to conceal the knife?
    Thank you

    1. Hi Brian.

      You know, most airlines will allow you to check in small items that aren’t allowed in the cabin for only a small fee, or even for free.
      It’ll probably be cheaper than having to give it up at the checkpoint, anyway…

  22. I’m trying to take some liquor on a cruise with the rumrunners (http://www.rumrunnerflasks.com). Being plastic, it shouldn’t bring up any major alarms, but they would need to be concealed in a way that wouldn’t be immediately apparent. I’ve been told by a source that “oven bags” seem to reflect xray technology and make it difficult to see the contents of the bag. Is this a complete urban myth, or is there validity?

    1. The “oven bags” will actually make it harder to see (not much, but a little) what’s in your bags or suitcases, but there’s a major flaw in this plan evens so.

      Regulations for both airport and ISPS security states that if the x-ray operator cannot determine what’s in the bag due to obstructions (such as large metal objects, one thing obscuring another, etc.) then the item must be opened and checked manually.
      The key is to make the thing you’re trying to hide look like something else.

  23. so im trying to import a small knife from pakistan to canada. im fliyin emirates from karachi to dubai and from dubai to toronto. so the knife is about 8cm when unfolded. it is a switch blade but it cant be automatically unfolded. im a permanant resident in canada if that helps. so i was wondering if i put the knife in my luggage will the canadian authorities find out about it? i can get it through karachi without any problems but can i get the knife in to canada without any problems?

  24. I’m trying to bring with me 2 ceramic ballistic plates its size is 10×12 and thickness is almost a half a inch. (check in of course)
    What color will it show up on x-ray for the plates? blue or green? will it been transparent and be able to be see thru on x-ray or will it be a dark mass on x-ray?

    Is it hard to make it look like something different on x-ray?

    If instead I mail the plates will I face the same problems?

    1. Hi Mike.
      Based on the thickness, these plates will be a mix of blue and green, but they will be very dark. However, transporting such plates shouldn’t be a problem.
      If you can, try to fit these plates as “end walls” in your bag or suitcase – that way, they won’t obscure the x-rays coming in through the longer sides/bottom/top of your bag or suitcase.
      Alternatively, make one plate the end wall and the other a side wall, leaving 3 sides (and one end) open to the x-ray machines.

      Since such things aren’t a problem in themselves, the only thing that can cause an issue is if the rest of the bag’s content can’t be viewed.

    1. Hi there.
      Yes, everything you can eat will show up as organic matter. It’s generally not a good idea to eat things that aren’t organic…
      Paper and books will also show up as organic, at least so far as they are made of regular paper, i.e. made from trees or similar. Some types of paper which consists mostly of plastic might show up as something else, a light green perhaps, but that would be a very rare occurrence.

      Thanks. 🙂

  25. When traveling without checked luggage, I’d like to conceal my small Swiss Army Knife in my carry-on luggage so I have a useful tool at my destination (without going shopping all the time). I was thinking about hiding it inside a MagLite (aluminum) or cheap (thin steel walled) flashlight in place of one of the batteries. How will either of these solutions look on X-Ray? Obviously the flashlight wouldn’t function. Any other ideas? For day trips I hate waiting around for even the small parcel envelope to get delivered. I’ve also lost a nice pocket knife when someone else picked up the wrong envelope.

  26. I’m going in less than a week so it’s really urgent please help 🙂 I need to take a small blade, the same kind of blades that are in leg razors, at least one. I wouldn’t want to risk carrying it on my person unless you think I could get away with it? Like I said it’s very small. Would it work if I stuck it between to house keys? Or in a packet of hair pins? I think the house key thing will work if I position it right, do you think it will? Thankyou.

    1. Hi.
      House-key thing could probably work… the real question is why you’d need it on a plane…
      Anyway, there are a million places to hide a razor blade in your carry-on. Take a look at our page on how to read x-ray images too.

  27. Hi,
    What if i got a small metal jar and somthing organic in it? wil the x-ray see the organic(orange) thru the metal(blue)?

  28. Hi,

    Im wondering, what would show up on the x-ray screen, if there was an organic material of a certain density hidden inside another organic material, (which is more dense than the concealed material) for example a small bag of rolling tobacco inside something organic like… wood? etc
    Thanks

    1. Hi Alfie.
      Take a look at our “How to read an x-ray” article and the comments – lots of tips and tricks.
      The short answer is that any changes in density will be discernible.

  29. Quick question out of curiosity….if you emptied a bag of like coffee or any other recognizeable bag that would regularly contain organic matter and filled it with cocaine and neatly sealed it back up would that be able to be recognized??? Is there a special indication that alerts them to cocaine in a package? thanks.

    1. Well, “Me”, if something is wrong, why keep doing it?
      Please remember, everyone, that smuggling is illegal. The article here is purely for educational purposes, and you really shouldn’t try any of it, for any reason.

  30. Brass knuckles. Would it be safer to someone ship them to the u.s. As opposed to carrying in my checked luggage. Thanks!

  31. Interesting stuff – thanks for the info.
    Do you know what direction the x-ray machine takes the image from ?
    From side to side or forward/backwards.
    And if its from the side is it from left or right side .
    If its taken in the line of travel is it taken from the forward or the rear?
    Dyu know if all machines work in the same way.

    1. Hi!
      Check out our other articles on how to read security x-ray images – that should give you some insight.
      Security x-ray machines generate their x-rays from below and to one side, sending them in a fan shape up to the opposite upper corner, so to speak.

  32. So… would, say, weed look the same a tobacco? I have a machine that rolls joints into filtered cigarette paper.. Can i just swap a few regular cigarettes for the “special” ones with out being found out? I am a legal medical user, but am traveling and prefer to be discreet, as tsa isn’t always open to the idea, licensed or not…

  33. I am trying to take weed from CA to NY. I have a brownie and 3 pre-rolled joints in plastic tubes that I put inside a pound of ground coffee. I am also a liscenced medicinal cannabis user. Do you think the plastic will make it noticable on the scanner?

    1. Hi.
      Please read the articles and comments. We are not here to help you break the law.
      Smuggling illegal substances will land you in jail.

  34. Can and x-ray machine (packages being shipped and therefore scanned) see thru a metal container? Like a personal vault of type.

  35. Hi – logic might suggest that xray machines scan from the bottom / passenger side to the opposite top / operator/monitor side. Do you know if this is true.

  36. hi i want to bring a ring box from thailand to qatar and i saw the big x rays that have sliding doors going around you and it looks scary so should i put the ring box in my armpit and take it off in the bathroom or should i put it in the big bag and they bring the bag right under the plane ??? thanks 🙂

    1. I don’t think it’s quite clear what it is you want – what’s a ring box? If it’s just a little box with a ring…then that’s not illegal at all.

  37. There’s no good reason to post a site like this unless it’s to promote it illegal activities. Posting a disclaimer does not change the intent for the site.

    1. Hi Keith!
      Thanks for the comment.
      May we suggest you take a peek at what’s beyond the tip of your own nose, and read some of the other things on this site?
      Have a nice day.

  38. Hello,

    I live in india. I am going to Malaysia for a vacation. i was thinking to buy a small asian arowana fish which would be around 6 inch. will it be good i bring it in plastic cover filled with water and gas and keep it in my check in baggage? i know if airport authorities finds this they will hand over the fish to Forest authorities. Will this plastic cover with the live fish inside my checkin-baggage detected by the Airport scanner?

    After i buy the fish and loose the fish it it will be big loss of money. Kindly advice what will be the best way i can bring it in my baggage.

    PS: without the real live fish import license i cannot ship it from there. i would like to know what would be the best way i can bring in my baggage.

  39. I’m trying to take couple of Iphone’s to my country Armenia, but the former president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan has a monopoly in Armenia where only he and his sons can bring cell phones to Armenia. How can i wrap my iphones so the Armenian Airport xray scanners don’t show my iphones. Thank you.

    1. Ah… Steve. There’s no real way to conceal cell phones in your luggage. Your best bet is just to carry them, and hope you don’t get stopped by customs… but carrying cell phones into Armenia isn’t prohibited. If they ask you about them, why not just say they’re your, and you brought them along as backups on your trip?

  40. hello,

    can i bring back an acrylic bong around 30 cm high in the checked luggage from amsterdam to my home country? how can it be concealed in the bag? also how can i conceal cigarette papers?
    thx

  41. Im trying to bring a cigar or two back to the states but I’m underage so what do I do cause I’m not checking baggage i just have a carry on.

    1. Look, it’s not security’s job to tell you to get rid of tobacco. That’s not what they’re there for. The people you have to worry about is customs officers, and they have all kinds of stuff to detect if you’re smuggling something. Not the least of which is about 30x more training than security…
      Also, as long as they don’t have a metal container, why not just put’em in your jacket pocket?

  42. Hi
    I’m not sure what I want to do is illegal but I’m flyin next weekend on a domestic flight and I don’t want to hide narcotics or any drug but what about a Crack pipe?? because it’s glass would it show up and will i get charged?? I would like to get info on how to go about it and if it’s worth it.

  43. I was trying to take medical marijuana through the x ray by putting it in bag of beef jerky will that work since they are both organic?

  44. hi. i was just wondering what the procedures were at the point that the contents of a check-in bag are considered ‘suspicious’ to the scanning individual, even if it’s organic? for example, do they check inside every block of cheese, jar of food, bag of candy, etc?

    1. Hi Claire.
      If a checked-in bag triggers an alert from the automatic scanning equipment, the image will be checked by a human operator. If the operator feels the need to search the bag, that will be done (in the EU, mostly with the owner present, in the US, not so much).
      When it comes to individual blocks of cheese, for example, it’s very easy for the operator to see if there’s something inside it, since the density will change, the outlines of changes will be visible, etc. So no, stuffing something inside a block of cheese or switching a few M&M’s for something different won’t normally work at all.

  45. Hello,

    I was thinking of transporting an airsoft pistol over, now if i dissamble it and scramble it across different luggages and pack it as told above. Would it be possible?

    thanks

  46. Hi, if i dismantle a plastic bb gun and put it in different places will i get away with it ?
    need to know quickly
    thanks

    1. Maybe… it’s your best bet anyways. However, many x-ray operators will recognize weapons parts as well as an assembled gun, so it’s a gamble either way.

  47. Ok, i help make medible pops like lollipops.. if i stick them in a bag of candy.. like a ziploc.. will i b ok?

  48. I am underage but wanting to bring tabacco from england to the canary islands and back, is there anyway of doing this other than sneeking it into my parents luggage??

  49. Can I put one knuckle in my bag in a fligh from San francisco to Miami ? I won’t carry it on me I’ll do the check and put the knuckle with my clothes

  50. If drugs/explosives are dissolved in liquid (water, softdrink etc), would that be easily diffrentitated from just having water or softdrink since both are organic? I assume the density of the liquids are similar.

    Cheers

  51. erm, im trying to bring 2 nunchucks , both metal in my lugguage , its warp up in tin foil i wonder if i can succesfully bring it back to the UK.

    cheers

  52. Hi,

    I wonder about cash… how would it look in the scanner if I have sterling pounds notes? I might travel to china to buy and bring some retail stuff but they just ask for cash… I was thinking about bringing with me £20000 in notes to buy stuff and send that back. I don’t want to report that to customs or whatever… is there a way the notes can get detected? the money is not illegal, it is just a venture business I want to try out

    Thank you
    xxxxxx

    1. Cash is pretty easy to see – especially since most bills now have metal strips in them, which will show up on screen.
      Taking currency out of the country isn’t illegal and there’re usually no fees, so your best bet is just to fill out that customs form. you don’t want to send that much cash through checked baggage…

  53. Ok, thanks.

    And what if I do the trick you recommended for the bottle? but instead of the bottle I put the cash in socks, armpits, breast, etc..? would I get caught?

    Regards,

    Sandra
    Many xxxxxx

    1. Hi. I think we actually have quite a few comments about hiding cash, but it’s risky none the less. Like I said, the best thing is to declare it, and that way you can travel with it in a much safer way – e.g. securing it on your person or in your carry-on.

  54. Hi guys how are u all I just need small information I am traveling next month and I have some cell phone that I want to take with to my country I have a cellphone shop in south africa so I want to take around 10 phone with me.so is there any problem if airport saner scan those phones or I have heard that if I wrap a cell phone into a carbon paper than scanner won’t be able to scan that phone so just tell me is it true or is there any other trick that I can use. thanks.

  55. Can the X-ray machine that you walk thru see if I were to have drugs put up in me like meth? Will they be able to tell I have that please email me back and let me know

  56. I was wondering what color would a box of cigarettes be? Would that be considered organic and show up as orange? Also are there different shades of the colors to distinguish between different densities perhaps?

    1. Hi.
      Take a look at our page on “How to read” one of those x-ray images. You’ll find examples and a more in depth explanation of the system there. In short, yes, it’ll be orange. Can you tell it’s a box of cigarettes? Easily.

  57. Hi SS, Does a lugage scan ‘see’ inside a soup-can or beer-can or a deoderant-spray like Axe? Or is it just a blue image on the screen?
    Great info! thank you.

    1. Hi Arie.
      Depending on the thickness of the metal, it’s very possible to see through it. For normal soup cans or deodorant sprays, the metal is very thin, and in most cases it’s not hard to see what’s in them, how much is left, of there’s anything…foreign… in them, etc. Take a look at this page on how to read an airport sec. x-ray. The first example image should pretty much tell you what the deal is.

  58. Thanks for the quick reply. But ‘organic material’ in a soup can with soup should not cause any suspicion, right?
    And as long as you fill the metal container totaly with the same ‘organic material’ there’s nothing fishy to see on the screen, i would think?

    1. Hi Arie.
      That depends. Remember that it’s not just about colors – the x-ray machines are designed to illustrate outlines very accurately. So, if you put a bag of x in the soup can, the operator will see it. If the pills have indented logos, the operator will see that, too.
      A baggie of weed? May be possible, if the density is the same as the soup or whatever, and if it’s chunky vegetable soup, for example. There are a lot of factors to consider.

  59. I was curious if hollowing out a jar peanut butter, while making sure there is still a thick amount of peanut butter on the bottom and sides, stashing it with the “goods” putting more peanut butter on top, and resealing the container would work to pass through the scanner. Also, if i do this and put it in a box with a bunch of other foods in my checked baggage, would it raise question going outside the U.S.?

  60. On several occasions I’ve transported live birds hidden in my hand luggage, they have passed through the airport x-ray scanner and they have not been detected. I think it is since they are security agents looking more metallic objects and not realize the original organic (orange color) but know if not searching for metals and put the scanner in the form of organic could see birds?.Also there are other forms of scanner in black and white I think that it looks better but by that both are not used?.

    1. Right… first off, Eduardo – please don’t subject live animals to that kind of torture. Basically, you’re an asshole.
      X-Ray scanners can see both metal, organic and composites, all day every day. It’s up to the operator to change or combine different views – that includes b&w or color settings, levels and contrast. The problem in spotting birds is that their outline can be hard to distinguish, they may be moving around (if they’re alive), and they’ve got hollow bones, so their skeleton won’t show up as well as in landbound creatures. That said, one of these days, someone will definitely see one of them, and your animal abusing ass will be in jail, where it will hopefully be raped repeatedly.
      Sincerely, everyone here at SnallaBolaget.com.

    1. Hi Joe. Yes, and we’ve written a bit about that before. Diamonds and other gemstones/precious stones are so dense (remember that diamonds can, for example, cut glass) that they will show up as black. That’s also a good way for an operator to identify them. However, since they’re usually very small, it’s easy to miss them for an inexperienced one.

    1. Hi Yong.
      Usually, you can get away with transporting oil filters as long as they’re dry – i.e. new and unused, and not primed or containing oil at all.

  61. Hi, great Site!! I was wondering about gold transportation. From what I understood its all about the density and how the x-rays are bouncing of the material density and showing on detector as adequate color.
    I tried finding some better x-ray pictures of lithium ion batteries and similar to see if I can mold gold to the shape of cell phone battery or something unssupecting and transport it that way. Best I could find is trough Nick Veasey’s gallery on http://www.nickveasey.com/
    What is your thoughts on this? Besides not performing nothing illegal 😉
    Thank You!!

    1. Hey George.
      Thanks for your comment. Nick’s images are interesting, but not necessarily very representative when it comes to security x-ray images. Making gold look like something else, however, is a good idea, though not a new one. Making it look like batteries is a good choice if you’re insistent on disguising it – but remember that there’s always the risk of manual searches.
      That said, transporting gold isn’t illegal, and taking gold through customs is usually only a matter of declaring it.

  62. hi guys can i take a very tiny cactuus to canada? how can i hide it in my lugagge? thank i need the answer pls.we are going back home on thursday.

    1. Hi Arco… unless that’s a weird euphemism we haven’t heard before, they probably shake your bottle to see if the liquid does anything weird, or if there’s anything in there that shouldn’t be there.
      Alcohol is a great way of transporting certain substances, but mixing anything in there would make the liquid behave a little differently. They’re hoping to detect that with the naked eye, I guess.

  63. im trying to ship live fish to Germany, from Hong Kong.

    is there any way?
    will put minimal amount of water inside the container..
    and i dont have a permit.

    fish is about 3-4″ only..

    i know the fish will survive, all i wnat to know is , if the bottle/container/box will go pas German customs or any where for that matter
    tq

    1. Hi “X men”. Basically, you’re an asshole for smuggling live animals. How would you like it if we stuck you in a tiny box and shipped you to Germany? Wait…
      Don’t do it. Also, we know just how to do it, but we won’t tell you, since it’s got nothing to do with security. Go talk to some customs people.

  64. Not sure if this has been asked before somewhere: How about seashells? They consist of calcium-carbonate if I remember correctly, what color would that be on the screen? Oh and obviously it wouldn´t be a bag full of them, just a few ones from the beach, up to 15cm, if at all.

    1. Hey Kasimir. You’re basically right, but the hardness and thickness varies, so it’s a little hard to say. It will be a composite kind of thing, so some blend of orange and green will be the result.

    1. Hi Sacha.
      There’s really no way to “hide” gold from the x-ray operator. The only thing you can do is disguise it as something else, which is risky, since it’s very hard to know if the object will show up as it should.

  65. hi there , i would like to know how is it possible to pass some bottle of drink thorugh the scanners, in country like Kuwait , importing alcohol is not allowed and if could hide the vodka bottle form scanner eyes , it would be perfect.

  66. Hi. I’m going on a cruise shortly (not flying to get to the ship) where taking your own liquor on board is prohibited. I have rum runners that I want to fill with my own liquor of choice. Could I put one under my hot curlers (that has a metal bottom) so it won’t be seen on the scanner? Thanks!

  67. How can i pass 10000 phone memory cards through a scanner in my lagage or pocket which is aproximatly 2000cm square box

  68. How can i pass 10000 phone memory cards through a scanner in my lagage or pocket which is aproximatly 10*10*20 box

  69. Hi

    i was wondering i want to send a iphone for a friend in ukraine, i already send a couple of things,like things that the it is not important. But now i will send a phone, i am not just concern about the scanners but i am concerning about the people from ukraine post office to steal too… so i thought about the bag o coffee that i always send and open coffee and place the phone in there in a plastic bag and then i close the coffee again..i alslo will place some cosmetics and a shirt.. do you think it is a good idea? and do you know how it works phone when tehy go in the scanner? please ypour opinon is important to me.. thanks ..

  70. Trying to bring less then 1 gram of Mary Jane onto airplane. Just in checked luggage only not carry on! Don’t really have to but want to and getting in trouble over such a small amount would be silly. What do you think if its put onto a checked bag ? Traveling from Florida to New York City

  71. Anyone know what a wood box of cigars might show up looking as? Do you think it would be identifiable?

  72. I have read this whole page and I still don’t have a strategy for sending a gold diamond ring to a country that has restrictions. I have studied the pictures, please tell me that there is a way? I know there is… help please, thanks.

    1. Well, James… it’s all there, really. Gold and diamonds are very dense materials, which will be seen as black. There’s no other way to hide that from an x-ray operator than either making it look like something else, or hide it behind something equally dense.

  73. Hide sex toys through airport security? in luggage or hidden pockets? Traveling to the middle east and they might go crazy if they see them…lol

  74. make the gold into a huge long fat dildo and take a girl with you. that will get a massive amount through if her knickers have ample support lol x

  75. Hi. What if i have a small package inside of that is a two pieces of sim card from philippines and one ring. Is that allowed go through on the scanner?

  76. Hi there, been reading loads of this information. I know it all depends on the situation. But any advice is greatly appreciated
    I have my nephews air pistol (crosman 2240) he left here with me, I have sent all the parts by post except for the frame grip.
    My only question is I will be visiting him so planning on taking that in check in baggage not by hand, my only question is will the frame trigger an alert or is there anything good to disguise along with it such as make it look a hand tool that uses a pistol grip etc?
    Thank you.

    1. Hi Wilfred.
      Anything looking like a gun, even a tool w/pistol grip, might make the ABS system react. However, there’s usually no restrictions on sending legal weapons parts (especially non-lethal) in checked baggage. Assembled weapons require that you contact the airline first, but that’s not the case here. If you’re really worried, check with the airline. They’ll probably just tell you to stuff the thing in your checked baggage.

  77. Hello,
    I will like to know if rough diamonds can be detected by airport security scanners?And how best can i get rough diamonds pass the scanners & security at the airport? I will also like to have a image of how a rough diamond looks like on the scanner image.
    Thanks.

    1. Hi Phil.
      Absolutely. Send us a few rough diamonds, and we’ll send you all the x-ray pics of it you will ever need. 😉
      Aside from that, we’ll just have to refer you to the earlier comments – we’ve talked a bit about gemstones and diamonds before. Also, precious metals. Uncut/rough diamonds will show up just like cut ones (except the shape, of course), but we kinda doubt there will be any security officers out there (generally speaking) who will a) recognize rough diamonds or b) think they’re any kind of a threat to security.

      Mind you… that doesn’t cover any customs agents you might encounter…

  78. You never answered my question SS. Would like to know how I can sneak my sex toy”dildo” through customs? Im going to the middle east. 🙁

    1. Hi Jessica!
      Sorry, being the only one who deals with comments around here, one might slip through the cracks now and then… 😉
      Look, customs officers are scary people. That’s why they get the job. In most cases, they’ve got more experience than the security people, they’re better paid and they’re far more fanatical. So here’s the deal.
      You can’t really disguise it from them. It’s going to show up on screen if they x-ray it. Your best bet is to take it apart as much as you can, buy batteries when you get there, take the motor out and put it in with your toiletries, and then tuck the mostly “organic” rest of it in with something of the same densities. They don’t normally show up very prominently (depending on the type, of course), so making it look like a food or snack item is possible.
      We’d have to have more specific info to help you any further than that.

  79. Hey SS,
    Its pretty realistic and it doesn’t come apart. Theres no battery on it, I hope thats enough info 🙁 . Im very doubtful about taking it with me since that might lead to a very awkward and embarrassing situation. Thats unless you can clearly show me methods of how I can get it through. Thanks

    1. Having seen quite a few such… items on an x-ray, I can tell you that it’s very hard to make it look like something else. 😛
      We recommend not taking it if you can do without it.

  80. Hi im going on a school trip to italy and i would like to know if nerf guns would alert anything and if they do then how might i prevent them coming up and which ones if any wouldent come up

  81. I’m having trouble getting a gun from Albania to the UK I’ve heard that if I disassemble it and put it in a old cases player that’s made out of metal it’s unlikely they will find it or if I wrap plastic tape around it what other ways are their to get it through

  82. Hi,
    I i went to morocco and wanted to bring home an ounce of hashish (personal use), could i roll it up as small balls, place it in m&m bags and get through customs ?
    I am thinking its organic, like m&m, so should all just show up as orange circles on the x ray..

    Thank you

  83. Dear,
    Anybody know how to hide gold from x-ray scanner.?
    Is there any option to identify the gold from other metals in x-ray baggage scanner…

    Waiting for your reply…

  84. I was wondering how can i pass huevitos kinder ?? Its a chocolate egg with a lil toy inside but is illegal cux lil kids choke do u know how they can pass ,.. Last year they toke them away from me 🙁 helppp!!!

  85. Unfortunately 3D x rays are becoming the norm. 3D x rays are taken from two angles, 45 degrees apart. This means that anything stacked so it looks inconspicuous in one angle will probably look very suspicious from the other angle. So try to keep that in mind.

  86. One of our customers at security told us that he had been on this site, we just re scanned the pack and oops, gun upper parts, bullets… weed… so funny he butted the weed on juice can… we opened it and woops. Dont belive these thinks on this site, you just get yourself screwed.

  87. Hey mate.

    I want to bring a balisong/butterfly knife into a prohibited country by mail.
    they do seem to get seized by custom officials quite often.
    to be frank, how would the sender do their best on disguising or concealing it in a mail package?
    The item may have wood or even bone inserts on the handle, but the blade is obviously metal, and some parts on the knife handle is also metal.
    will it definitely show up? would the official somehow miss the package and it will slide through? what are the chances of that? hrrmmm..

    Cheers big ears!

    1. Mail is primarily checked by x-ray and particle sniffers. Make the knife “invisible” by placing it with dense metals – mind you, that alone might warrant a re-check (manual check) of the parcel, so no guarantees.

  89. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something
    that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex
    and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  90. Im trying to bring some thc oil and was gunna put it in a contact case. Will it be seen or do contact cases count as a liquid and have to be put in the zip lock bag

  91. Hi there,

    I am looking for images of x-ray luggage for a project I am working on. I see on your website you have some images. Please let me know if you would consider sending them to me. I an amateur artist and am having a heck of a time!

    Please let me know if you have any questions!! Thank you for your time!

    best, Lindsey Lara

  92. I want to bring a couple oz of marijuana with me

    If I wrap it in tin foil and put in a shampoo or grind it n put it in pill capsules and add them with fish oil pills

    Would it trigger suspicion?

  93. I work as an xray scanner in an airport and all that is written here is total bollocks.
    We have dual screens so putting a knife facing UP makes no difference cos we get 2 views from side and above. Trust me you wont get through with illegal items period

    1. Jerry – dual screens are an exception. not a rule, as you would know if you’ve ever moved outside your own work station. Most scurity checkpoints, airport and other, rely on single emission and image rendering, which means you get a 45 degree angle on the x-rays. This, again, means that the system relies on operators that are well trained, who will spot suspicious items and request a second scan. Minimizing the profile of a knife, for example, will in most cases minimize the chance of it being spotted.
      Now, the sort of complacency that you exhibit is one of the major security risks – you should never, ever assume that illegal items won’t get through – illegal items get through checkpoints both in and out of airports every day. Judging by your attitude to it, I’d say illegal items would be pretty easy to get through yours.

    1. If you can melt gold, make the gold into buckles, or other metal pieces that normally fit inside high end luggage. For example.

  94. I was thinking about mailing some steroids…Would placing them in a hollow book will do the job ??they are medical ampoules and tablets ..no metal

    1. Yes, that will work. You will not receive the packages of poison so that you can shrink your balls and become and angry giant. They will find your contraband and hunt you down and charge you. You will go to jail and be puny and be turned into Bubba’s bitch.

  95. Hey, how do i slip abottle of lsd-25 ? The bottle is just 2/3rd of the pinky finger. And even thinner. The bottle is made of thin plastic. Will it appear orange like coca cola bottle ? The bottle contains 3 ml of lsd-25.

  96. Im taking a cruise and would like to bring a clean/unused glass water pipe for my hookah, now I know that this isn’t actually illegal in any way as smoking is allowed on the ship, however I don’t want to be hassled in any way on my vacation. It’s about 4 inches tall and 3 wide and completely clear glass, no metal or plastic, but looks like a mini bong. Is there something I could wrap it in that would just hide the distinguishing characteristics of what it looks like?

    1. Glass makes for a pretty obvious shadow on an x-ray machine, so there’s no real way of hiding it, depending on the shape and size. You can obscure it with metal, of course, but as the article(s) also say, that might trigger a search on its own.

    1. Why, just why would you need to hide it? It is a cell phone. Just take it with you. I don’t understand. It is a stupid question. Unless your intentions are not on the up and up and are illegal then just take the God damned cell phone with you and let them see the thing.

  97. I make six international trips a year, each with multiple flights. Do not try taking something illegal through the airport and certainly not into a foreign country. The scanners are very good. Dogs walk among you in line trained to sniff everything from drugs to explosives to produce. I’ve walked past people having knives pulled from their bags, knives pulled from belt buckles, etc. They know ALL the tricks. Many countries are crazy about the slightest amount of drugs. The penalties are harsh.
    I once had a plastic toy gun – a sales sample – in my checked bag. I was called on the airport intercom and escorted out onto the tarmac. There in a bus with blacked out windows with bars two people went through my bag as two police with bullet proof vests and automatic weapons watched me wait. They examined the toy gun. Checked EVERYTHING in the bag and finally let me go. If I’d tried to smuggle something they would have taken me to jail right then.
    Don’t be naive, don’t be stupid.

    1. And I travel internationally more frequently than I’d like. The security may be good, but they don’t have the time or resources to disassemble every small blue-black thing they see. Especially since a two week trip can be supported by a 1/2″ cubic space of quality goodies. Although going to Iran, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia were freaky the first times, now, when I absolutely am forced to go there (and that’s what it takes), I no longer sweat it. My upcoming trip in about 2 months is to another wing-nut country, Egypt. But MUCH better than the other 3. I’d never suggest to anyone to visit any of these places. Because, if it’s not your homeland, it just sucks being there.
      China, France,Belgium and especially the Netherlands, were great! Really could go forever without ever seeing the middle east again, ever! Hate it there beyond words. Guess I got off track, but hopefully it’s useful to someone.

      Oh, please, please, please never send me to India or Pakistan, either, Gods of travel. Just all of Europe, some of Asia, Australia on a coast, S. America, Iceland. I never bother going to our 51 state, Canada. Why would I? Unless they make me.

    2. Dog’s are a joke. If you seal things in metal, wash your hands, wipe the article down with acetone or alcohol, no dog in the world will find it. I bet my life on some trips on that fact. If he doesn’t smell the resin on my fingers, which they never do, he won’t smell the other.
      Don’t act guilty, a carefully moderated and very subtle look of “good ahead, waste your fucking time, you’re wasting mine” is natural behavior for innocent people. And DON’T pay the slightest attention if they pick up your stash container, just continue staring at whatever you were looking at 10 seconds earlier. They will have to be pretty sure of finding something to minutely check everything, and so they won’t. They’d look like idiots taking two hours to find a gram of hash and 6 or 7 pills. Ohhhhh….Big Bust! Unless it’s some religiously obsessed Islamic hole. Their glee will be palpable,

      1. Only the ignorant will call dogs a joke, dude. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to listen to your advice – no matter what it is, since I stopped reading it after “dogs are a joke”.

  98. I’m trying to get alcohol onto a cruise. I’m planning on putting in plastic bags. What advice do you have for that? Lay flat? Rolled up?

  99. Just simply think customs are only just humans not Gods. There are ways to do it but not to be publicly said though in forums. Start by thinking what I just said above and the ways will come pouring down your brain. It’s much more simple than u think.

  100. Hello.
    what about coffee .if something to hide inside coffee packs and hot chocolate metal cans if this will bring suspicious and use mail company to send package in tinned fall from another country

  101. Hi SS
    I moving to Perth WA from Brisbane Qld Australia. I have two beautiful jungle pythons and I love them to bits and I really would like to take them with me on the plane. Only thing is WA won’t approve any reptiles from other states. So I was thinking about taking them on board with me. I have read through most comments and I have noticed that it’s not a very good topic. But I want to transport them the best way I can as they’re very loved pets. They’re not very big snakes and I thought it would be best to have them hidden under my clothes and then placed in a snap container once secure on board . Still unsure please help!

    1. The problem is the damned baggage scanner. Anything that even appears to move will be game over. As I see it, the only way is too put them into a relatively opaque object shaped like such an innocuously shaped gift form that it doesn’t bear further scrutiny. It has to be a durable and no scanner expects a box of chocolates to be opaque. Maybe an ornate piggy bank, a musical instrument or other such item. There is no guarantee though. Scanners may just want to know what those items may be concealing since they are big enough to hold a buttload of drugs or weapons. Smuggling sizable living things is very, very hard. If they only had to be confined for very short times before you could go to the bathroom and make more comfortable in a purse-sized container, well, I’ve carried Altoid containers through without having them inspected. Perhaps a similar set of larger metal boxes containing a similarly well -known product label (particularly if sold by one of the airport stores) and carefully concealed breathing holes may work. There are no guarantees here, good luck Becca. Another thought, browse the gift shop for easily recognizable, and thus assumed to be safe, gifts that are x-ray opaque and could be adapted to work. This is a lot of trouble but we smugglers do what we’ve got to do.

    1. If it’s an “arms above your head, don’t move” scanner, the only conceivable way would be to incorporate it into your clothing construction such that it looks like it belongs. A tall order for too little pay off. Those damned things see everything. They saw a single Kleenex tissue (unused, or it would even have been more visible) in my jeans pocket. Asked me what it was…Christ, those machines are nosey. Good luck!

    2. But, if you just mean the carry-on scanner, it’s trivial. All you need is a reasonably sturdy metal tube. Well what kind of tube works? Try an old laser pointer. They’ll NEVER look inside. Or, take the opposite strategy, It’s organic – orange. Pack it the center of a bunch of innocent “orange things”, licorice, Slim-Jims, or similar, put it in a baggie, roll it up and put a pedestrian closure on it. A twist-tie or rubber band. Funny story, when I first started my “I’ll carry whatever I damned well please for personal entertainment” thing, I was naive. I wrapped joints in foil and slid them inside the ram compartment. Did it 3 or 4 times before I was educated to the fact that computers are the most scrutinized item. Nobody ever said a word, imagine that! I also carried a single-edged razor blade in my wallet a dozen times before s scanner in Ronald Raygunz airport mentioned it. Kinda’ surprising. On the very rare flights where I carry no drugs, its a good time to experiment with techniques. They almost all work, actually all worked except the blatant blade. A close friend is becoming a TSA agent and that person has already happily agreed to share all the “priorities”, new equipment and other things of general interest.

      Just a note to TSA agents readings this…some of you guys are so thoughtful, it still looks like I packed it when I open it. Some of you are freaking pigs. Straighten the hell up when you’re done, alright? You’re jobs aren’t that damned rushed that you can’t be professional.

  102. If you are a mechanically inclined person, the possibilities are endless. The x-ray expects a core of a wall-wart to be opaque. Carefully open the plastic case (no marks!), drill 1/4 inch holes into the metal core of the transformer, drop in your hash, acid, what-have-you…add a slight layer of aluminum foil. Top off with steel filled epoxy. Glue a plate of metal over the tops of the holes. Use cyanoacrylate to close the case back up. Bring big, strong nail clippers and similar tools to open upon arrival. A lot of trouble? Sure? Foolproof? Well, I brought speed and hash into China. I bring my personal drugs anywhere, even into those cruddy backwater countries that kill you. Smiled all the way, nobody will find it. Any “agents” want to dispute me? I thought not. It is not feasible to catch guys like me. There are any number of ways to defeat ALL existing airport security for small amounts of drugs. You just need meticulous skills and ingenuity. Hell, if you’re lazy, just open a metal bodied thumb drive. Remove the crap and add drugs wrapped in aluminum foil coated with epoxy. Reseal. Just throw it into your carry on. Remember, expected metal items, ones not expected to launch any alarm, can always conceal the “lighter color” items inside them. Seals must be hermetic. Epoxy is your friend.

    Ever consider what a bag of mixed nuts, chocolate junk, red-hots and other stuff looks like to an agent? Like an abstract painting of mostly orange crap and very indistinct. Balls of hash, pot, anything can be wrapped like candy, mixed in and never noticed. Only for airports where you NEVER see dogs. Here, low density is your friend. Agents are mostly looking for weapons unless you’re in some backward-ass Islamic nation.

    1. Oh, I forgot to mention this simple fact. How many of you smoke a joint on the way to the airport? I know, who doesn’t, right? If the drug sniffing dogs were “going off” every time they caught a few hundred thousand errant molecules (a very small number in the chemistry world) they’d be like a pound full of howling mutts. Just don’t make the mistake of being the one they actively tell their dog to check out. This isn’t random, by my observations, so don’t draw attention. Act like any other terminally bored, mildly impatient person around. Don’t stand out, positive or negative.

      Interesting fact about those “arms-above-your-head” full body scanners, one picked up a Kleenex in my pocket. One. I figured it would be invisible and I was wrong. I’d NEVER attempt to bring anything through one of those that I couldn’t conceal as a part of my mouth, like behind my teeth. I have a lot of bridges, crowns, that has to provide some cover. If it fails, well, just like the time a cop stopped me smoking a joint in my otherwise clean car, swallow it. Only use this for drugs that will completely digest like hash, maybe only hash. What else would behave properly? Nothing comes to mind. You don’t want to have to sit in a cell while they wait for a balloon to pot out of your ass. Anyway, a lot of good black hash around here again for $400/oz, haven’t seen it for about two decades. Same cost as weed. The teenagers and 20-somethings buy the weed, wiser smokers know you’ll get sooo much more from an oz of hash. I just laugh.

      1. Hey I wanna pass just Some antibiotics and ayurvedic preparations for my liver and 20 or30 pills of xanax for rare insomnia . Will it be seen under the x ray if I put xanax in that bottle of ayurvedic preparation..? Cause they are unprescribed. Plz help

      2. I thought of crossing # by cutting it into small bars, shaping it on top to look like a Galaxy bar and wrap it up with a chocolate cover, then buy a whole box of these chocolates and take them as a souvenir 5 bars will be # and the other 19 normal galaxy.
        Would it show ?

    2. Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to take cocaine through am airport. It’s not going to be a big quantity, a couple of grams for a stag do. Only way through a body scanner would be up the back passage which I’m not gonna do!! So was thinking carry on luggage – what would powder show up as colour wise? And how best to disguise it? Going to Krakow. Help would be very much appreciated!!

  103. Love this thread! I’m a bit late, question please! How about unrefined gold, like the small -100 mesh stuff stuck in candy ,evenly disbursed – would this show up , or would it be too minute? Thanks!!!!

    1. It’s a good idea, but remember that it’s density, not size, necessarily, that will be the downfall of the plan. The gold will still be black specks, and so it would depend on distribution and the attention to detail of the operator.

      1. What about 10!grans of pot in your checked luggage? I have filled a gold bond shaking container with grinder up green and then dumped the powder back into the container, this is going to be checked in my luggage and not carried on, what do you think?

  105. Hi SS,
    I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to take cocaine through an airport in carry on luggage. It’s not going to be a big quantity, a couple of grams for a stag do. Only way through a body scanner would be up the back passage which I’m not gonna do!! So was thinking carry on luggage – what would powder show up as colour wise – I’m assuming orange? And how best to disguise it? Going to Krakow. Help would be very much appreciated!!

    1. Go to CVS get a travel size bottle of baby powder . Empty the baby powder , put in the coke . check the bag in .

      Now look at powdered coke next to baby powder , they look similar .

      case closed .

      1. Silly question. But would they ever open it and smell/test it just because? If you seal It up again with glue would it be much more safer?

  108. Im trying to get some MJ seeds (Less than a dozen) from the states into Japan. (Yes, harsh laws, blah blah blah. heard it all before. idc)

    Ive thought about mixing it in with other snacks that I carry on. will the X-rays pick up the shape of the seed if its stuffed inside a red vine liquorish?

    seeds will be cleaned and aired to limit any scents it may have.

    any help much appreciated

    1. This is what you do Bob. Mix them together with bird seed, or a trail mix that has some other small seeds in it. You can even have the bag open and be snacking on it when you go through customs.

    2. Seeds are cellulose made, so them can be packed within fat a book or so, since they are not as “smelly” as leaves or stems, it would do fine

  111. I was bringing 5 dummy 9mm rounds to the states to use as a gage to ream a gun barrel. They were in a paper tube and taped to a SS caliper. The girl in Moscow saw them and I was recalled from the gate to repass an inspection (the check-in bag was being shuttled between the connecting flights). I had 5 gold coins in my wallet and put it through the carry-on screening in Moscow and the girl (different one) saw it and thought I had three because I had the wallet on end. Gold jumps out because of its density.

  112. Which is scrutinized more heavily, carry on or checked in luggage?

    It seems like in a lot of cases, it would be better to just hide your item somewhere in the mess of stuff in your checked in luggage.

  113. how do i pass marijuana by the airport without getting in any trouble at all, as in the safest way? i need some help

    1. I am thinking of that exact same thing but what i am doing is bringing an empty chew bag and just putting it in my carry on since tobacco products don’t trigger a search. And another thing im doing so i can smoke a joint when im away is just taking all the tobacco out of a cigarette and putting weed leaving a little bit of room at the top to but back some of the tobacco so it just looks like a normal cigarette. And if you going to jail let me know cause I aint about gettin buttfucked

      1. Great idea about the tobacco pouch. I may try that.

        Regarding your second suggestion of packing the weed into cigarettes I can say that I’ve successfully done that about 6 times. In both domestic and international flights.

        1. hey did you have the cigraaettes in your pocket or in your carry on cuz t i live in south america and they have the simple bodycscaners and thought of just having it in my pocket could it work?

          1. If you put it in your luggage and check it in, then you run the risk of dogs sniffing it. they do random checks in the back area so you won’t even know it until you about to clear customs, then POW!!!
            Just put it in your pocket, or carry on.

  114. How would i get Molly pass the carry on xrays? It’s almost a cocain consistency, just a powder type of ectasy. Its not alot, just enough to enjoy my 5 day vacation

    1. My advise to you mate would be to put it in a water/smell proof container (I always found an unused urine sample tube from the doctor is perfect) load it up and put it in your washbag with the rest of your products as we all know these products can come in all manner of different container, just as your cosmetics can come in all different states. Just wipe the outside down with an alcohol wipe and you’ll be all good.

  115. Hi it may be silly to ask but do clothes in the baggage show on the x-ray scanner or not?? I have some lingerie as gift for my wife that is still somewhat embarrassing for me if someone else sees it.

  116. I want to pass some ecstasy thru x-ray for international flight and had this idea- since its for personal use, just to be really careful can i crush it,make jello out of it and put it in travel size shampoo containers so it looks like shampoo? i guess i will have had time figuring out how much to eat but is this a bad idea? Will i not get a high from this? I heard mdma is a stable compound.

  119. I cannot find any tip on how to reduce the risk of detection when carrying a large amount of money (bills)?

    1. You can put the money in pads and make sure its really covered and put them in your underwear works mlre of your a girl just wear loose pants and try practicing walking before heading to the airport

  120. would it be possible to get some small live animals through? In particular, a couple live pet tarantulas and a small pet snake? I was thinking about bundling them up and putting them in a hard plastic container filled with food.

  121. I want to bring gold coins to my country, what if i have bottom hidden compartment with lead or mylar in check baggage, how would look like in x ray? Transparent (only see my clothes) or black?

    1. Gold is dense. Dense = darker image. Gold and lead shows up about the same, a black area with blueish edges. Outlines also show up clearly.

      1. I want send 2pcs stone to China by courier service .Please help me how to avoid the scan in airport. If I apply silicon up side the stone its will be work.please very urgent

  122. Would airport scanners show 2 bottles of 500 ml size, Alcohol, placed underneath large laptop.

    The laptop/pc will be in handbag, which has two compartments: top and bottom. Top goes the PC, below is the liquid.

    Reason I ask, amazed by what one foreign worker (school teacher) in Saudi Arabia told me 2 years ago. That she brought 4 medium size containers of Gin, below her laptop, and the camel riders at Riyadh airport security, didn’t even blink!

    Note: these guys do not open or search bags with laptops in them. Just pass. As long as the image shows nothing else in that bag.

    1. It’s a game of chance. Depends on size and density of lapop, if the bag gets jostled or not, scanning angle and so on. Also, of course, on the proficiency of the scanner operator.

  127. Hey I was wondering about a gram of wax oil. I heard compressing it so thin in between two credit cards then in a folded wallet can work. Also thought about wrapping it in something and putting it in shampoo or toothpaste? Any suggestions

    1. I am flying on Saturday. I usually just disguise mine as tobacco products. But I also fly out of Colorado, which helps a lot. Our TSA do not care so much…..you have to be pretty blatant to get in trouble flying out of Denver.

      1. I had a roach in my pocket once. I had been up partying all night, leaving in the morning heading to US. The security told me to empty my pockets which I did, and the roach appeared. They didn’t let me finish it and didn’t think it was funny that I asked. They threw the thing away along with my scisors and pocket knife before letting me on board.

  128. i once put a blunt clip the size of my pinky, in a tic tac vontainer with other tic tacs. i had the container in a pocket in my purse. i made it through airport security in america.

    how does it appear on a xray machine ? so i can know and probably do it again

  129. If one tries to sneak 1oz gold bars or gold coins by hiding them within metal objects (for example a razor or beneath metal parts in a laptop), will they be detected ?

    1. If I’m going to carry a fake motherboard fully made up of 1kg of gold and placed it inside a laptop and put that in my backpack, will it be detected?

  130. Im hoping to sneak 15-20 firecrakers through the metal detector. Im under 18, so i wouldn’t be put through the milimeter-detection thingy. Im thinking of wrapping them in saran wrap, taping it to my inner thigh, and going through the metal setector normally. Quickly afterwards it will double bag them and get on the plane normally. These are the long and thin type of firecrakers so it wouldn’t be noticible under some loose basketball shorts. Im leaving in early September, but reply A.S.A.P please.

  131. Need help I’m trying to bring two strips of suboxone, it is plastic wrap casing and inside is a small square of sublingual suboxone. How would I get that through Carry on

    Thanks

    1. G-
      There are plenty of ways to get something so small thru safely.
      Take them out of the packaging (since they are foil) & there are a thousand things you can do. Tape them to the back of a credit card/gift card , not your ID as you may need to show it, (obviously)… Or get a pack of gum & slide them next to a piece of gum & wrap it back up & put it in your pocket. You can make an impromptu envelope & store it in your wallet. Shit for something so small & inconspicuous you could (carefully) ball up some tissue with them inside & if you are made to empty your pockets it would just appear to be trash or a used tissue. But honestly, 2 strips are not of much concern to security. You are not trying to make $50,000 or kill someone, for fucks sake!

    2. dude. easiest way is to rap the suboxons with 3 layers of condoms and wrap it all tight very tight ( seal it from air) than oil it and shove it up your ass your ass will swallow that shit and u can bypass airport check with it. the most important part is do not act inside the airport like you need to shit or that there is a cock up your ass moving. note: plz before swallowing the subs-condoms u need to take 6 pills of Imodium ( called maybe leporamid in the pharmacy) this will cause you hard constipation and will block the subs from reaching your upper intastines
      do not exceed more than 10 pills. regards.

      note: again the key is to not act like there is a cock moving up your ass

  132. How do I get weed through security its a very very small quantity probably not even enough to fill the surface of your palm I want the safest way without getting caught please help im flying out of america aswell

        1. How do I get 20$ of meth from Vegas to South Carolina, can I put it in a pill capsule of Nexium and then throw it in with the rest? Should it be in my luggage out carry-on?

        2. How do I get 20$ of meth from Vegas to South Carolina, you have to take 2 flights and one of them stops in Georgia. Can I had it in a pill capsule of Medium and mic it in with the rest, or put it in my pocket/carry on?

          1. Are you some kind of insane? First of all, don’t break the law. Second of all, don’t take meth through some of the most heavily scrutinized transportation modes when you don’t have to. Leave your 20 bucks worth of meth in Vegas, and buy 20 bucks worth of meth in SC, if you have to. Taking a 20 dollar bill on the plane is still legal, you know.

    1. i can promise you that no drugs even show up on the x ray at security. i have the craziest story .. a friend and i was traveling the other day in the usa and we were flying back to our east coast state from the west coast and i swear to you my buddy had a kilo of coke , pure grade shit , strong , it was sealed very very good from the cartel connect, it had saran wrap on the exterior over the other shrink packaging , well he had a few liquid items that caused them to look inside his book bag , and when they did they went straight to it and sat it on the counter , he took off running immediately in a sprint sorta run , and he ran all the way to the end and realized there was no where to go , so he turned around and started running back towards security , of course the tsa was freaking out like wtf are you doing and why did you run , this guy told the agents that he was trying to catch his mother boarding another flight before she got on , an that the package was beef jerky and i swear to god , they ran it back through the x ray and the supervisor said he was clear to go , and handed him back the fucking kilo and he walked past everyone back to his luggage and put it in there and grabbed his other luggage that only contained 15 lbs of grade a medical cannibas that was reeking like hell, and we boarded our flight and came back home, we both was like wtf just happened , no kidding he would have been gone forever , he is already a 2 time convicted felon , it was the craziest shit i ever seen .

  133. i have a personal method you can use to smuggle any item you can reach me
    charle_reed37 at yahoo dot com , escrow will be used and it will cost $5k

    1. Point them at airport security and grab yourself a hostage on route, demand a private jet to take you to your destination, easy peasy….good luck.

  134. If I’m going to carry a fake motherboard fully made up of 1kg of gold and placed it inside a laptop and put that in my backpack, will it be detected

  135. I am looking into bringing some H with me overseas, for personal use. Perhaps two bags of 24 bloons. Can you give me any ideas? I figure checked luggage would be would be open to dog sniffing, so carry-on. if they were in bundles perhaps theyd be noticeable, but what if they were scattered in the bag, like trash? theyre roughly the size of a jellybean.
    What about interspersed with medicine in bottles? ive got several meds I have to take.
    Also, when going through a body scanner, would this amount show up on scanners? if it were keestered, does that show up? people i know that have been imprisoned say it will, but are airport scanners up to the same level?
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I really cant miss this trip, but it would also be pointless if I was sick the whole time. Im also thinking about methadone. is it okay to bring cough syrup in a carry-on? it smells and looks the same as Robitussin. For that matter, can cough syrup be in checked luggage? If it can pass as cough syrup, that would be the way to go. i would just have a several bottles of it.
    And is it okay to have syringes in checked luggage? Thanks for any info.

  136. guys email me at imtheking2010@outlook.com i have a excelent way to get anything thru we run drugs from uk to australia everyweek it will cost u to no my secrets u are looking at $2500 straight into my bank no escrow no bullshit straight up transaction i dnt fck around and that price tagg is there so only the people that are legitamatley going to use it and not people who are going to fuck around and saturate the method i also take bitcoin if that helps thanks guys u will be very suprised how good it is

  137. iPhone tasers. I’ve been told security are cracking down on them. I’m coming back from Phuket Thailand to Sydney airport aust. Carry on luggage? Or in my pocket?

    1. sexyhotslut420 at gmail – any advice would be lovely. I don’t travel often at all and its been 14yrs since I’ve been to Thailand so I don’t know what’s changed as far as security measures go.

  138. how can i sneak 10g of coke? check luggage, pocket? handbag? hidden in my body?
    is it risky or not really interesting to security guys?
    maybe put inside capsules? anyone?

    1. 10g of coke is easy. put it into capsules and then put it into a pill bottle. they rarely check what pills you’re bringing in. flown through about 15 airports so far…all in a relatively short amount of time. snuck some meds not prescribed to me because they don’t check your meds. what I’d suggest is that the pills in a bottle are uniform. dont mix pills although that hasnt been an issue either.

  139. Liquids such as toners, shampoo, body wash and lotions are not allowed to be shipped to other countries using international express mail and express mail service (EMS). Can anyone tell me how to pack liquids so that the airport x-ray scanner won’t be able to detect the liquids inside the box i will send to other countries? I wrap it using black garbage bag but they still detected it even if i tripled the black garbage bag already. thanks in advance ??

  140. HOW TO GET CIGARETTES through airport security?? Please help travelling to Australia and they only allow 50cigarettes!!! Just wondering if packets were scattered throughout bag maybe they won’t detect???

    1. I came from Japan to Australia through Melbourne last October with two cartons of cigarettes in my carry-on. I don’t believe carry-on baggage is scanned at the destination – if they’re going in checked baggage? Well, I got a baton through just fine, so I guess they don’t have the manpower to scan every single thing coming in.

    2. Also, when I bought the cigarettes at the duty free shop in Japan, they just asked me if I was aware the limit in Australia is 50. They don’t care, and the guys in the foreign airport don’t care either.

  141. Good grief… if any of you people are stupid enough to pay these guys for “advice” on how to bring drugs on a plane, you’re never seeing that cash again.

    Any information they would give you can easily be found online. If you can’t figure out how to locate it, I seriously doubt your ability to get through security successfully.

    As for the guy who claims to have gotten away with half a kilo of coke, after running away from security… if your story is even true, that’s just dumb luck, not the kind of thing anyone should expect if they try the same. Seriously, who is stupid enough to take large amounts of cocaine and marijuana in their carry on *when they’re already a convicted felon*, and on top of that, just tries to bolt at the first sign of danger? People that dense should not be around drugs at all.

    1. No one should pay for information like this – and just like you, no one here paid to read this site or post questions/comments. Also, no one should smuggle or abuse drugs.

  142. @David What about hiding it in ur vagina??? We all know how wide & long the vaginal is. I’m sure it can hild alot. Has anyone tried that way?

  143. @SS What about passing things through the vagina??? We all kniw how wide & long the vaginal is. I had a friend packed marijuana in her vagina & didn’t have any problems. Have you ever heard anyone doing that?

  144. @SS What about passing things through the vagina??? We all kniw how wide & long the vaginal is. I had a friend packed marijuana in her vagina & didn’t have any problems. Have you ever heard anyone doing that??

    1. It’s probably much more usual than we’ll ever know. Metallic items will often be picked up in metal detectors, even inside the body (artificial hips, splints, shoulders, etc.), but organic matter such as drugs are less likely to be detected in that… environment. That said, drug sniffers and dogs might still tag you, and cause a secondary check and/or cavity search if the resources/time/severity is present. That is pretty extreme, however, and would require transport to a medical facility, etc, as well as very solid legal grounds. It’s not something you’d encounter on a normal day.

    2. Sure. Putting anything glass up ones vagina and then sitting on it for several hours sounds doable. What could possibly go wrong? o.O

  145. How can I get 10 Xanax bars from DC to san fran? I was gonna go the route of throwing them on my checked bag mixed with multi vitamins. And no I’m not prescribed just dependent on them. I just don’t want to miss my cousin wedding. Please help, I leave today and have no choice but to bring them as my family doesn’t know.

    1. Yow i travel like 10 times per year, always with pills, i always take with me bucnh of oxycontins xanax percos vicodin, etc. my method is simple, never give a fuck, first of all be relaxed, those tsa robots smell fear and anxiousness, be calm all time pop some xanax at the terminal, my regular dose for travel its 3 2 mg xanax and 2 percocets with a little bit of alcohol , since i go from miami to argentina most of the time, i take 3 planes which involves several airports, ok so place the pills on a bottle of vitamins, tynelol, or something non narcotic, put em between your clothes on a ziploc along with items such as toothbrush, and bathroom stuff, take some with you too, i always take em as tic tacs, i used to fear the x rays but they never told me anything and like i said i was high as fuck all the time so i just put a big i dont give a shit vibe

  146. If I want to try and bring a small glass pipe with me would putting it inside a pair of socks work? Does checked baggage get xrayed?

    1. Or if I put it in one ankle sock wrapped up in the crotch of my underwear while I’m wearing them. Will that be detected in the “lift your arms and ffreeze scanner?

      1. I remember in the old days getting stoned on hemp from seed you bought in the pet shop .The smell to a human is different but a dog and swab test .riskay
        Still I would not bring a bag of hemp through security .The places I go the biggest worry is a corrupt official putting something in my baggage .

    1. Excellent comment. In addition to your IP being logged, we can see your email. That said, the chances of a terrorist having any use of information on this site is miniscule. Secrecy is not security, unlike what most people think. Exposing vulnerabilities where they exist, help better procedures and methods (like those Windows updates, you know? Sort of.) and keeps everyone all the safer.
      Transporting illegal items through an airport checkpoint is not an easy feat, which you’d see if you actually read the article(s) here. At best, it’s a hit and miss kind of thing – you can trick people, and when it comes to the TSA, it’s probably not very hard. Trying it with agencies in Europe or the middle east is a whole other deal.

      So good luck – you should probably stay on the ground, though.

      1. “Exposing vulnerabilities where they exist, help better procedures and methods” – so, basically, making life harder for yourself and others to smuggle stuff through? Excellent cyclical behaviour.

        1. Ps Golly gosh I wish I hadn’t published all my top secret hijack plans online, I literally thought everything I did online was anonymous! IP’s get logged?! THIS IS A REVELATION. Thanks for the heads up!

          1. Well, we’re not a smuggler’s den. This is a site about security, and how people should protect themselves. We believe that security is for everyone, and that information isn’t something dangerous – it’s something useful. The more people know about both the advantages and the shortcomings of security, the better able they are to protect themselves and others.

  147. Ehmm… what about zippo lighter fluid? I bought 3 125ml cans of zippo fluid from Austria, how can I get these back to Finland? No matter if it’s in my cheked baggage or on-board backpack, I want them! They’re soooo much cheaper here! Anybody got any tips?

  148. How about pocket knifes? Its way easier for me to get them in WA and i would like to take 1 or 2 back home for my own Protection. For i am a female and have had difficulties in the past i would just like to keep myself safe. Would i be able to insert it in my vagina and simply say i have piercing down there?

  149. i have different international passport, can i hide them in my hand luggage? hope the security scanners cannot detect them?

  150. My friend is coming to me and is bringing LSD and keeps asking me the best way to do it. What should I tell him?

  151. hey i was wondering whats the best what would be the best way to bring about a ounce of marijuana on a flight. I’m going from chicago to canada and from canada i would be flying to greece. Any recommendations on how i can make this possible?

    1. What I did once was ((kind of time consuming but the safest thing I could think of)) grind my weed up, neatly open a bunch of lil teabag packets (where the actual tea bag comes in), then gently cut open the soft paper that contains the tea herbs, dump the herbs out, fill it back up with weed, put your new weed-filled teabag back in the packet it came in, tape (with clear tape) or glue the packet back together and repeat this till all your herb is now disguised as, well, herbs 🙂 put the packets in whatever box the tea packets came in or just a zip lock, and you’re good to go. An ounce is a LOT more weed than I’ve ever brought but I think you’ll be good. Good luck!

        1. Well I just had about a gram so it couldn’t smell nearly as much as an ounce would, but anyway, I made sure to like triple bag it and shove it in the very center of my suitcase so the weed would be completely enclosed in all these layers of clothes and things from every side. I went really extra with it, as should you. ESPECIALLY if you’re traveling with a lot more weed.

      1. Sounds like a bad idea because airports have sniffer dogs and if you get caught, depending on the local laws, you will get jailtime for drug trafficking.

  152. Im traveling from NY to the Bahamas with a stop in FLL. Trying to see if crack rocks (small) will show up if I place them in with my pill medications. Needed to bring about 7g with me.

  153. I am planning to travel with a few bottles of medication inside an speaker, do you thing that using aluminium tape inside the speaker could help to avoid detection of medication

    1. Bro you don’t need to hide the pills just put them in your bags that you check if your scared I’d just put them in any bottal and bring them right on the plane with me via my carry on.. Its no illegal to have your medication on a plane.. A friend used to fly back from FL with 600 30mg oxycodones tablets on him no ones ever said anything.. Good luck

        1. You can’t take a book through a metal detector. Put the knife in your fuckin checked bag legally like you’re allowed to do.

  154. For all these people asking how to hide drugs…. let me answer them all. TSA doesnt give a flying fuck about drugs.

    1. I just wanna get 5 xanny bars through whats the best way to do that without getting caught i fly this weekend to Dominican republic. Any ideas?
