There is no need to pack a bomb for a flight. Just buy the parts and ingredients you need to build one in the duty-free shop after the TSA security theater.
Do they sell electrical switches, or lighters back there, or am I supposed to rub two sticks together to ignite it?
You do not need any of this. You should know some chemistry and physics, but you can get everything you need to make a bang.
Are you serious that there are chemical combinations for sell behind the security checkpoint that’ll make a large explosion?
I don’t care about bombs. I’m just thinking about not seeing my friends for 3 months, and that scares me more.

“did you pack this bag yourself?”
“Yes?”
“Then is there a tactical nuclear warhead in the left pocket?”
“Ah shucks”It’s 26 to 32 kg so it’s its own piece of luggage https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54#/media/File%3ASADM_carry_bag.jpg
Everytime
Not a word!
I have the reverse thing, after the check I’m like “I got away with it once again!”, while packing absolutely nothing wrong.
That this can and does ever happen to anybody is how you know the TSA is an abject failure of an organization.
If you’re traveling somewhere with extremely restrictive drug laws (e.g. Singapore), you can be sentenced to prison for drug particles on your shoes. i.e. you can accidentally have forbidden substances on you.
Do they test everyone’s shoes or do you just have to be extremely unlucky?
I’d assume they’re just doing the rounds with drug sniffer dogs. Those dogs have crazy sensitivity.
Drug dogs have an average success rate of about 44%.
If they’re sniffing around a Latino that rate drops to 27%.
They can sort of smell drugs, sometimes, but more often than not they are simply a tool that manufactures probable cause.

sure hope they don’t see all the weird sex I’ve been having with their daughters
you’re fine as long as you’re not using a Galaxy Note 7.
Pack a bomb??
I’m worried about them randomly selecting my bag for drug inspection or the bag being tagged in the X-ray… And the TSA agents judging my bag packing method and skills
I just wish I didn’t have to take electronics out of my bag for security, doing all of this is already stressful.
I got tired of worrying about whether or not I packed a bomb and would be caught so I decided to just do so and get it over with.
In reality I just grabbed a 2 pound brick of scrapple wrapped it in wires that I soldered to a watch and stuck it in the middle of my backpack.
Got to enjoy my scrapple on the other side and felt far more confident about my future in scrapple smuggling.
Or just be non-white. Then you will know you are going to be selected for a special screening.
Or a knife
I knew someone that unintentionally carried a switchblade in their carry-on bag to NYC, discovered that it was in their bag when they were unpacking at the hotel, and then intentionally carried it back home to Chicago in their same carry-on. Both times it passed through an x-ray machine without comment.
This shit is all security theater. Look up how often Red Teams get guns, ammunition, and simulated explosive devices past TSA; you’ll be unpleasantly surprised.
Or nail trimmers or a tennis ball
You’re not allowed to bring nail trimmers? I did…
So according to the TSA website you are allowed to bring nail clippers in your carry-on and check-in but they always have some bullshit text that say it is up to the agent.
I have been told by the TSA agents they only really ever take it if it has a pointed file on it, as those can be made into disguised knives. This is why you see much fewer of them on clippers these days.
More like “I sure hope I didn’t pack a bottle of water by accident” (or any other liquit in a container of more than 100ml).
Did this on a flight to Venice. Except it was a large firecracker, but at a glance it looked like a half stick of dynamite. I still have no idea how I got away with it.
The same way people board planes with loaded fire arms? The TSA is run by dumbfucks and is a waste of money.
Should’ve specified this was Venice, Italy. Baggage screening was in the UK where they’re very much not used to firearms/explosives in hand luggage.
