Flying with spore prints in a foil, any risks?
    #27895390 - 08/09/22 04:48 AM (1 year, 5 months ago)

I am moving to another country and I have 2 spore prints that I want to take either in checked luggage or carry on.
Aluminum foil shows up on the radar, so what kind of problem may i face?
How to prevent it?

Depends which country you are going to. In the vast majority of countries a spore print is far too grey an area to pursue anything more than confiscate it, if even that.

If you're really worried just post it to yourself.

Northerner covered everything already, but I am in the same boat as you are and I have had similar thoughts and questions.

I ended up sending my collection via post to a friend who already resides in the country I will go to. He received it savely. Now I don't need worry about these kind of things  and can concentrate on the move.

If you don't want foil to show up on the scanner, you could use laminating sheets instead of foil to make prints.

Spore prints on foil are usually fine, I travel with them all the time - never had a problem.

They don't look sketchy on the xray.

Maybe put the foil squares inside an electrical item?
A friend has put his acid tabs, folded in foil, inside the battery cover on his go-pro before

This sounds like a really bad idea. Going out of your way to hide an item makes it look suspicious. If they do search your stuff and find it they are going to waste a lot of your time interviewing you.

If it is illegal to have spores in the country/state you are traveling to or from then do not fly with them.

If it is legal then take them with you.

That seems a bit paranoid - it's pretty difficult to tell whether spores are the illegal type - they would need to grow them in a lab and test the mycelium for psilocybin.  If customs finds them and they aren't labeled as something illegal, they will just throw them away.

Mailing is always an option.

Airport security isn't really looking for tinfoil packets.
