shrooms through airport security?

hi everyone,
i'm flying soon and i want to take some of my homegrown shrooms with me. what i did was, i got a box of herbal pills, emptied out the capsules and filled them in with small pieces of mushrooms.
do you think that they can still somehow be identified through x-ray machine? i want to take them with me in my carry-on since the checked in luggages are more thoroughly searched..i don't think they train dogs for shrooms, do they? in any case, there are usually not dogs in the security before the gates..
or, do you think i'd be better off if i send them out with mail?
anyone tried this before?
thanks!

This thread was moved from Mushroom Cultivation.
Reason: Offtopic in Mush Cult.
I would suggest not risking your freedom over a few doses of mushrooms.

I would opt for mailing, over an anal probe

If you get caught, there will be two parts of your life separated by one moment, before you got pinched and after, its not worth it man. Mail seems safer but this whole situation could be a clusterfuck, best of luck!

wow? really? i didn't think it was that risky, since it doesn't smell, and it will be ground so the shape won't show...but maybe it's better to mail it

Just flew recently and there are signs in some airports stating that any powder or granular material may be tested and must be available for testing. That makes this method seem relatively risky for me even though they are testing for bombs. I didn't have a spare moment to check out the additional instrumentation at those airports, but I bet with the PETN scare the instruments could potentially test for scheduled substances too.

This was well-stated!

Grind and encapsulate them. Put them in a walmart herbal supplement bottle labeled echinacia or something if you must fly with them. It would be better to mail them though.

ive gotten away with this several times. powdered and in capsules.. no issues whatsoever. i also always opt out of the full body scanner and go for the pat down. i've even set off an alarm on the pat down for some reason and had to go through secondary procedures.. and they never once went through my checked luggage. my good friend took 30-40 of these pills through airport security in a valerian root supplement bottle without issue.
i also fly with weed all the time. i travel every weekend. worry not, sir, you shall be fine.

I think you should take it with you instead of mailing it. There are thousands of places you can hide it and they only look at each bag for a minute. Make it look like it isn't drugs and you will be fine. If it is in a herbal supplement bottle and it looks like a herbal supplement, that would be fine. If you take it carry on and put it in a bag that has nothing metal in it, they will xray it and will have no reason to look there. A backpack full of clothes, herbal supplements and mushrooms will get through no problem. If you put water bottles, horse shoes, odd metal objects, etc in the bag, they will dig through it for a minute.
