Question about x rays
#27062715 - 11/29/20 09:40 AM (3 years, 1 month ago) |
|
|
If you were to burn a large candle until it's completely liquified, then drop in four or five tightly wrapped grams of whatever into the hot wax and blow the wick out. When the wax solidifies will the items inside of the wax be visible with an x ray? Not sure how the technology works nor would I have any confidence in my interpreting of how it works and if I'd be good or not. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Depends on how dense the stuff is and what it's made out of, I'd think.

Like an x-ray scanner at the airport? Yes, I would think it would. Whether the person/s looking at the scan will be observing close enough to spot what's inside it is a different story.

The wax will not help hide anything from an x ray scanner. Instead of a bag of 4 grams of whatever it'll look like 4 grams of whatever dipped in wax.

I agree. Parafin candle wax is a lipid. body fat is a lipid. X rays go right through body fat, so... also candle wax.

This wasn't about weed or I wouldn't even bother with the extra "security" (or so I thought)
This would be a pretty foolproof way to mail stuff though right for added precaution? Like put a card with the candle and a box of chocolates to mail myself a quarter ounce of K or something. I'm not comfortable bringing powder on a flight I snuck a couple stamp bags a few times but a decent amount of powder is quite different. I suppose I could always keister it for the preflight security.

If I had to sneak powder in an inconspicious manner, I would find a pill bottle of a supplement then just transfer the powder into the gal capsules. If it was a white powder I would substitute it for a supplement that is also a white powder

Xrays can go thru anything except solid lead I believe.
The contextual-powder method is probably the best way to do it.

Back in the day I would fly with MDMA. I just packed it in capsules and put those capsules in a bottle of Tylenol or other pain killer with similar shaped pills. I suppose with some patience this could be done with a lot of substances.
That said, the better option is to mail the stuff ahead. Get a 2 days priority box and mail it to wherever you are going.

Don't fly with drugs anymore, they have those handheld scanner/sniffers that can detect microscopic amounts of drugs with a wave of a wand. Post that stuff ahead of time.

I've been scanned with them and pulled up for trace amounts of drugs on my wallet. As I had no other substances I was let go and that was that.
Heck, this was more than 10 years ago now.
edit: Google "electronic drug sniffer", no need to take my word for it.

I want you to google it because I already know they don't use them. And just because I'm not a huge fan of being wrong I did do a cursory search to see if anything changed recently and I couldn't find shit.

It was used on me and my baggage, particularly only wallet... . I was fucken there man and saw the wand.
Then I had the 10 minute wait alone with my bag to see if I'd freak out. No doubt I was being watched.

They swiped my fingertips once and detained me. I just begged them to let me make my flight because it was for rehab anyway. The just rolled their eyes and let me thru. LOL

Portable customized mass spec. pulls in already volatized air particles and scans then against a known data base. Mostly looking for explosive residue, but large TICs on drugs will get you busted. My friend invented the base instrument (for air pollution) LEO repurposed it for terrorists.

There are bomb sniffers at airports but not drug sniffers (besides dogs). the tsa doesn't use anything but dogs to sniff for drugs at airport's Also they don't sit and watch you if they think you have drugs. They just rip your shit open and look.

It's all security theater, or at least it was at first. Fake bomb detectors were common not just in airports but also war zones. People died as a result.

I'm not sure flying with drugs is a right or a liberty, but as mentioned, the post is your best bet.

The candle is a bad idea because they specifically look for stuff inside of what should be a uniform material. They will see a solid object (candle) expected to be uniform with pockets of non uniformity. You could apply something like gold leaf or other metalic material on the outside or mixed in to block the xrays but they may consider this suspect and want to cut it open or put it through another method of checking.
Emptying pills and filling them would be my go to method for a personal amount, larger amount should probably just be vacuum sealed in mylar bags and posted express mail to destination. Business people often send presentations and marketing materials to their destination hotels so it is not uncommon but call the hotel first for any special instructions.

an extended family member was also involved in the fabrication of some of the specialized components of these after 9/11, said he made enough to buy a new 35' boat off the job. They also use the swabing technique where they swab your luggage and feed the swab into a machine. You would be foolish to believe these machines are set to only detect explosives.
