Can i take small ammouts of semtex on planes???

discuss???

Only if I could take a BIG broadsword on board so that it can be easily seen and not hidden away....

Only in the USA

you could try smuggling it in your shoes...

Great ideae dentrassi

OK, joke, but in all seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if they were. Discussing getting semtex on a plane might attract some attention. Or am I paranoid?

I doubt your chances with semtex.
Radioactive substances, however...

while on my last trip to america, about half way through the plane journey i open up my bag to get out a deck of cards and realise i've brought a big ass packet of flash paper and an igniter with me. i was somewhat worried i'd got this on the plane.

Hmmm... I wonder... Maybe I should try with some fuel for spinning first...

I know, I'll start a thread!!

as long at you pack it in small containers under 100ml and carry it in a clear plastic bag then you should have no trouble bringing it on a plane or put it in a yoyo, no-one had any problems with mine when I flew 3 weeks ago it COULD have been an explosive with a long fuse

lol strange thread... but i wonder if it is possible...

Spanner... good point lady!!

Semtex is sooooo late 80s, early 90s.

Radioactive material is where it's at nowadays.

What kinda gets me is 'general purpose plastic explosive'.

As far as i know, plastic explosive only has one purpose - blowing stuff up. Or can you use it for other purposes, like a doorstop?

well this thread was started as a joke about the "can i take parrafin/kero on a plane"

and it wouldn't suprise me if mi5 where watching me everybody is being watched, from your mobile phone to your credit card you are traceable

Well, you could just put it in your pockets if your pants are baggy enough.

ud be amazed at wot u could get away with while traveling to ireland i had in my carry luggage a pair of hancuffs (no not for what ur thinking they were for a practical joke we were gonna play on sm1) anyway i managed to get these on to the plane i didnt notice till i went to get my book

"I find it surprising that some people do not consider all uses of explosives to be recreational" can't remember who said it.

On my way back to england from some country, the metal detector thing beeped at me but no-one took notice

yer well andy its highly unlikely that a 14 yr old is gunna be carrying a weapon or somin dangerous

my mother has a metal knee and can go through the metal detectors, but when i was at the washington cty courthouse my ummmm chest beeped

Just before we went to the airport to fly home from Kenya, I bought a life sized silicone rubber frog, that lights up when you squash it, and I put it in my top pocket.

There were some government officials flying on our plane, so as well as being held up for an hour waiting for them to turn up, we had to go through something like 7 metal detectors and X-Ray machines. I'd have to remove my shoes and belt each time. I was nervous that one of the armed guards would be worried at me having a hand at the waistband of my trousers, after just setting the metal detectors off, and tell me to put my hands up. This would have been most embarrasing, as my trousers had a rather large waistband, and I usually go commando.

After finding out at the first metal detector that the frog set them off, I'd take it out of my pocket, and put it in the tray.

This provided great amusement and took the edge off being annoyed by the delay and excessive security, as Kenyans appear to be terrified of frogs.

As soon as anyone saw it they'd shriek, and jump backwards, then cautiously approach it and give it a poke, at which point they'd shriek and jump again, as it feels so wierd and lights up. One of the security staff was chasing the others round with it at one point.

I dread to think of the chaos that I could have caused with this and the cabin crew
