Why would you try to get on a plane carrying? If you get caught, you are irrevocably fucked... It is automatically a federal offense...
on my last trip to Texas it was the first time I tried to bring weed with me, I put it on my carry on but decided last minute to send the carry on off, when I got to Texas they had two drug dogs and police I saw once getting off of the plane. I got my luggage and walked past them, my friend was laughing at me going 'you are screwed' but nothing happened. ehs. weeds.
I would class this as only as a stupid act the first time... The true idiot would be the one who does it a second time.
that's the truth. but it's a general lack of common sense that drives people to do it in the first place. although, i have heard stories of people getting on a plane with joints in their pockets and not being caught... pure luck, i imagine.
You could likely do it and get away with it 90% of the time, the problem is that 10% will fuck your life up forever.
on a recent trip to houston, i was chilln with my dad for a week & we toked n shit, but when it came time to leave, i gave my dad the left-over bud he had let me have while i was there, but he literally like kept telling me just to take it on the plane, that it would be fine. so i'm having a mini seizure at the airport i'm so freaked, but my dad said that if you're just carrying a lil bit of shwag, roll it up deep in a sock, tied inside of a small plastic sack with a bunch of other socks, you wont get caught. so i tried it, nearly pissn my pants, but got away with it....boy i tell you what i'll never do that again lol....
