Poppers through TSA security?

[+ dupontversDC]

Can you take poppers on a plane in your carry on luggage?

 

Can you just put them with your liquids?

That kind of party poppers

[Steven_Draker]

The TSA site doesn't mention poppers. It doesn't mean they can't be confiscated when you go through security. You may inquire and check with your airline.

 

I have transported poppers in my hand luggage whilst traveling in Europe only twice after taking the label off. Usually I check them in. I think this is at your own risk decision.

[jjkrkwood]

Poppers are easily available everywhere. Why would you want to transport them if there is the slightest risk of confiscation or otherwise ?

When I went to South America last month (Argentina and Brasil), I just put two bottles of poppers into my shaving kit and thought nothing of it once it had been done.

The kit was in my duffle bag which I had been required to check. Don't know if I'd do this again though!!

[Kevin Slater]

I always carry a couple bottles in case clients want them. I've never had an issue in the dozens of times I've flown with them in the quart sized ziplock alongside all my other liquids.

A different perspective:

In my part of the country, you only find poppers at adult bookstores. And if I used them, i wouldn't want to have to track down such an establishment when I traveled. I stopped going to ABSs, etc. a long time ago. (No judgement in that statement, either.)

I've always carried them in my checked luggage. Just easier that way - no issue with explaining, etc. at security.

 

On a side note: JJ, you are wrong about availability everywhere/ They are illegal to purchase in Massachusetts, so anyone planning to visit P-town should either plan to drive out of state for supplies or bring their own. Odd, I know. We could get married there, but no poppers for purchase. Ah, it's a crazy, cruel world we live in.

Why are they illegal in Massachusetts? What's the logic behind that?

Logic? HAH!

 

In Nebraska it's illegal to get a fish drunk. What's the logic behind that?

 

In Texas, if you own five or fewer dildos you are merely a hobbyist. If you own six or more, the law assumes an intent to distribute.

 

Our local laws are, for the most part, not based on logic. They've usually come about over time as various groups have had various knee-jerk reactions to some perceived "calamity". There are websites devoted to nonsense laws. But for every law that YOU think is nonsense, there will be someone who finds it entirely reasonable.

Like the law in Baltimore that says it is illegal to take a lion to a movie?

 

Or the law in Florida where it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine?

 

Or the law in Ohio where it is illegal to fish for whales on Sundays?

 

Or in Alabama where it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle? (well at least that one makes some sense).

 

The number of stupid laws is truly mind boggling.

"Jungle Juice platinum" has the words "nail polish remover" on the label. Is "nail polish remover" on the TSA list? If I were to take them I would keep the label on the bottles. A unlabeled bottle would look more suspicious if looked at.

I hate to "steal" this thread, but is there any "good" reason for TSA existing? I thought not.

More appropriately, it should be called "Transportation Insecurity Administration", TIA. Oh, wait, that's already taken... of course, but still a loss of blood flow to the brain could have caused some of their knuckleheaded determinations.

no thanks

 

Am I the only person who hasn't tried poppers?

Why limit it to 'local laws', have you seen some of the shit Congress has written? For example, since the states have to right to write traffic laws, Congress says you can't get federal highway money unless your state has passed a law that doubles the fine for traffic infractions in a road construction zone, or your state has passed the uniform seat belt 'guidance' from the National Transportation and Safety Board. They are allowing states their sovereignty! sort of...

Personally, I dont spend money on the stuff. I just wear a pair of sweatsocks with old sneakers for 3 weeks str8 without washing them, and then sniff away. It has the same effect on me. ;-)

YES, but you probably have smelled your mom's nail polish remover.

[jjkrkwood]

you probably HAVE, but just dont know it...

[gcursor]

and what did i do to you today to cause this type of comment?

Don't worry GC you are not alone. I hate them. They give me a headache and a limp....

[gcursor]

old fashioned

 

Thanks BVB. I know I'm alone in this regard but I just don't like artificially having to make myself feel like that to do sex and things. I know that I'm "old-fashioned" that way. Oh well. That's just how I am.

What type of comment ?, It was neither an attack nor an insult, merely a comment meaning you have probably smelled them somewhere and didnt realize it was poppers. Geez, GC, dont be so touchy. We have enuf of those guys around here.

Well GC if being "old-fashioned" means not getting all amped up on a bunch of chemicals, then I am with you....did enough of that once for two life times.

I have heard that poppers expand the blood vessels in the rectum thus making it easier for HIV to get into the blood stream in the event of bareback sex or condom breakage. Anyone else heard of this? Wonder if it does the same in the mouth?
