What will airport scanners spot on my checked baggage?

Question

If I were to, say, put a small glass bubbler and some pills in my checked bag, will that be screened or found?

Answer 1

anything organic

Answer 2

Screeners mostly just check for bombs, It is very unlikely they would look for pills, especially if its not an international flight.

Answer 3

it will be found.

best option (and smartest) is to take those things and stick em both in a ziplock baggie in your carry-on.

it will get noticed, but its in a ziplock bag and in carry-on.

Answer 4

my dad have done that,putting his pills inside is luggage.then it was scanned through.the security found it,but my dad gave them a health letter concerning the pills.then he was good to go cuz he needed the pills.but im not sure about the glass bubbler.

Answer 5

Yup.

Answer 6

Possibly. All bags are x-rayed, so it might be spotted. In any case, sniffer dogs might detect the pills. To top it all off, some bags are randomly opened. Good luck :P

Answer 7

It will  spot what you put in it. So what drugs are you on?

Answer 8

Put the pills on your body. They don't scan you and if there is no metal that will set off the detectors you'll be fine. Also, don't wear clothes that has metal on it. I usually only wear all cotton if I have something on my body. No jeans, no cargos, just sweats and stick the pills in a plastic bag and put it in the elastic waist band of your underwear. Just a suggestion.

Answer 9
