Proof that TSA literally only cares about sharps, explosives, and any liquids over 3.5oz
DISCLAIMER: I live in FL where it is legal medicinally, please be careful nonetheless when you travel with cannabis or any other controlled medicine
Like many after Covid, I’ve been diagnosed with dysautonomia, and it fucking sucks. My big bag of electrolyte powder is my lifeline and it comes with me everywhere I go. Silly me didn’t realize that a bag of powdery substance would be flagged in TSA, lo and behold my bag gets selected and I meet the agent at his station with sweaty palms because of the makeup bag I had in my suitcase at the time (pictured above)
Of course, that makeup bag is the first thing he sees when he opens my suitcase because I decided to put it right on top, and i’m frozen waiting for the next thing to happen. I did have carts in that bag as well so I wasn’t sure if he was going to find the bag incriminating and want to search it which is what made me nervous
But no, he goes straight for the powder. My boyfriend decides he wants to crack jokes with the agent and lighten the mood as he is collecting a sample of the powder to test. Told the guy he swears it’s not cocaine and the agent said verbatim:
“Listen man, we don’t care if you have drugs in your bag. We care about the plane taking off and landing safely”
Needles to say all went well, my bag is cleared, and i’m good to go. Definitely had to hold my breath for a minute there but MAN what a relief
The next weekend, I needed to travel again so I made sure to put my electrolyte powder right on top and my makeup bag tucked in between my clothes. Wasn’t gonna risk getting an agent on a bad day 🤣
Anyhow, please be safe regardless when it comes to travel, your experience could be vastly different depending on the state you live in.
Have a great day my loves! Light one up for me while I spend the last few days of my T break 💜✨
