THANK YOU.:rasta:

well if you get a pipe overseas and bring it back with no resin in it, you're good.
Lighters, however, they do take.
A buddy of mine lost an 80$ zippo that way.
No lighters.
Pipes and whatnot are good as long is it's not been smoked out of.

Just to be safe, get some pipe tobacco to carry with it.....may avoid the whole search gig if they do check your bag.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

Phycho is very right..

zippo's suck for smoking weed (incase that's why you want one) unless they're the pipe zippo's that have a hole in each side of the wick-guard, and a torch lighter will burn you through your weed so quick it's not even funny.... i wouldn't waste too much money on a lighter over there i'm nto sure if they will let you go with it (before this, i never knew you weren't allowed to have lighters) but i guess you could always try to put the lighter, (if it's a zippo, then the box that goes with the zippo, if its a torch lighter, find a small box) put some tape, and some wrapping paper all in a little bag, inside your luggage, and if they ask, the lighter is a gift you promised to get a friend while on your trip... they might let you slide on that...

No resin in the pipe, and no fluid in the lighter..you should be fine. Just so your explaination for having both is ok with mom and pop.
Have fun, be safe.

dai*ma:stoned:

What they said.As long as theres no resin in the pipe then its just considered glass art.Now with the lighter i dont see airport security stopping you just because of it plenty of people come throughthe air port with lighters every day.

Lighter = no fuel = no problems

definatly no lighters... bad experiance... their anal at LAX!!!

ok thanks guys, one more question though, should i keep the resin free pipe in my pocket? or in my bag? it wont set off the metal detector?, and other than that they wont know i have it on me right?because my parents and grandparents finding out i have a pipe on me is NOT a possibility, you know how that is...

man just to be safe, pack it away in your luggage and keep it nice and safe under the plane.
my buddy brought a pipe back from cali and did that and had no problems.
if it's with you, you'll have to empty your pockets and shit b/c it will set off the detector.

but if its in my luggage, im thinking that i might have some trouble when i put it through the metal detector conveyer belt thing....because they look at whats inside your luggage with the x ray machine correct? i really need some help on this im rather stumped.

yah they go through shit, not that thoroughly though.
and if it doesn't have any resin in it, it's just glass art, remember
it'll work, trust me.

i know man but im still rather hesitant, my parents are gonna be right there...but oh welll. i guess ill see...

well look at it this way:
either it's in your carry-on and there's a chance they question it and whip it out in front of your family
OR
it's in your bag under the plane, and a SMALL chance that they question it and remove it. still, you won't have to deal with your family knowing.
you want to bring back some treasure, you gotta be down to do whatever it takes so you dont get caught.

Yeah, i was underage on my senior trip to hawaii and i brought a suitcase full of booze and checked it. no problems so put it in your bag that u check. remember, those people who check your carry-ons are people too, they make mistakes, the worst thing you want is a person who is anti pot to whip it out in front of ur mom and dad and make a joke
