Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
So you're telling me that the TSA is only a thing to harass people that aren't white? 
My turn to post spicy stuff that I might delete later.
About 7 years ago I was travelling to Michigan and I went through security as normal. When I got to where I was staying I was just doing a quick check of my luggage to make sure everything was good and lo and behold to my abject horror in one of my jackets was a massive chunk of flat-pressed hash that was god knows how old.
There wasn't much in my Jacket to block it/it was towards the front of my case. So, either they saw it and didn't give a fuck or they just were taking the piss and didn't notice at the time.
From my experience carrying (accidentally and on purpose) various verboten objects through airport security, they don't understand drugs beyond "a baggie of white powder", they think flammables and explosives necessarily look like a computer or phone, scanners can usually be defeated by turning objects sideways, and you can carry pretty much anything you want through on your body if you leave your belt on then act like you just remembered about it when the beeper goes.
They hardly use metal detectors now. Its 90% xray body scanners.
They don't give a shit about that. The machines are highlighting objects of particular densities or something. A tiny piece of hash is indistinguishable from a piece of gum or candy etc.
It wasn't tiny. About the size of my palm, pressed flat though.
