in a few weeks i will be packing up my stuff and taking it on the plane back to my home. i have a syringe in my possession and would not like to dispose of it because it has spores in it. i was thinking i'll put it in the box with my computer when i pack up...this box will be checked and put in the cargo hull. am i safe in doing this? i will be travelling in california to another california destination.

i'm flying both out of and into two seperate california airports. i don't think they x-ray checked baggage so if i throw the syringe amidst my computer gear i'm thinking it might be okay.
i'm just thinking that if an x-ray were taken something like a syringe might stick out to the x-ray operator. i don't know if simply having a syringe is grounds for a search for checked baggage...it would be for carry-on but i'm thinking it would be okay if it were checked...i'm very paranoid.

i've got a print that i'll be taking w/ me but i don't think one print will produce enough for a summer stash to feed friends and such. and being stuck in cali i don't have many options in getting new prints, i'm actually really lucky to have come across the one i do have. this will also be my first try so i could possibly fuck up and contam the only print i have.
i'm thinking i will leave the syringe here though, bury it or something for next year, better safe than sorry. are the types of needles for spore innoculation hard to come by? i doubt i'd be able to get a big enough gauge at a pharmacy.

mail that shit to your house the day you leave, just package it good, it's a lot safer than bringing it with you.

All flights, even domestic, have started having luggage inspection. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll just do the "bomb rub" inspection - where they rub explosive detecting materials on the outside. Maybe you'll be mostly lucky and they'll do the medium search and look through the major stuff in your baggage. Maybe you'll be screwed and they'll do the 'thorough' where they went through every compartment and container.
And note -- a print will generally allow for more output than a syringe.

or you could put it inside your computer case, then maybe if they do x-ray or something, it will just like another inner part of a computer?

well, the computer will be in a 2' by 2' box. i think if i slide it in there somehow it should be okay. i don't know if they x-ray checked cargo.

I'd say mail it to yourself, too. But I think stashing it in a computer case (stick it near a hdd or something nice and solid like that) would work fine. If you can remove the needle part, do so and tape it to the side of something else inside the case, out of view. I can't see that you'd have any problems with a single syringe.
I've mailed legally questionable things this way (to myself when moving) many times. One time even from Asia to Canada. Never had a problem.

Firmly insert it in your anus. Enjoy the flight.
It may help to consume multiple alcoholic beverages on the airplane as well.

Just say its for medical reasons, I dont think they have the right to inquire about your medical status, after all, it is just an airport, tell them it is for draining your knee of fluid (18g needle is to big to do much else with...). But chances are they wont say anything, but if they DO find it in your computer gear then that might lead to further questioning why it was in there and such...
