Although I keep telling myself that all they need to do is let their dogs sniff them to know they're not... contraband or anything.

Unless powdered milk is considered contraband in Japan idk.

Not unless you flaunt them, they shouldn't. Plus, yeah, easily verified as not drugs.

Though what a picture they make, aha.

ooh drugs

Yeah, my mom's worried that they look like... drug packets. And might show up as such in x-rays.

you could let them know on the plane that you've got powdered milk in there tho 8|a and they can check if they want maybe

but yeah.....LMAO

I would possibly put them in something not plastic baggies maybe..

;_; They're individually packed! For 14 days of travel. So I can just throw them away day by day once I drink the contents.

I could go out and buy a small can but that would be bulky, and I'll probably have like half left over even after 14 days.

YEAH.....that's true

either way, it's not like you'll be carted off for drugs when its POWDERED MILK \/

The airport here won't be any problem, I think. It's the x-rays in Japan I'm worried about. Like the high-powered ones they use for checked-in luggage, because I won't be there to explain?

So I thought I could keep them in my carry-on instead, because at least with those x-rays I can open my bags and immediately tell them that I'll get explosive LBM if I don't drink a glass of this shit everyday.

Can put in a tea tin maybe?

Anyway a sniff should prove they are milk so that's not a problem.

it's easily verifiable although... they do look rather suspicious in the picture.

It's like this packed in another plastic bag (still individually packed inside) although now it looks like a bag of flour... which might not be better.

stick it in your carry on

they might be like yo wtf is this

and you can pull it out

their customs are really friendly, so i think you should be fine?

tbf it doesn't even look like drugs to me so idk

8|a

like in that pic

the color is weird

but if you like, you could put it in a tea bin as yukeh suggested. just to be on the safe side.

It's kind of off-white. And afaik drugs are crystalline white?

yup.

Pam, are you online anywhere?

just facebook and plurk at the moment.

what's up?

Just wanted to chat. XD

oh! pm me? might be delayed in responding after a bit, but yeah. right now i am idle.

AIM? Or here?

here!

lol my trillian is fucking up. will need to fix that someday soon.

Anyway, I think I'll put it in my carry-on and just move to my check-in if needed...

put it in the check-in. might be better and safer.

Hi, Tine here: Singapore/German customs once sliced open one if five bags of powdered coconut in my checked luggage to test it.

It spilled into my whole suitcase, was terrible. So if possible put it in hand luggage, tell them about it, and be prepared to have them

Test every single bag of it. If you put it in checked luggage, add a large, easy to read letter explaining what it is and why you need it.

To answer the original question: yes, it does look suspicious. Also, putting it into sth else will not make it look less suspicious.

Powdered white stuff in large quantities in Asia travelling towards non-Asia is always suspicious.

Hng.

Well, the total weight of those 14 packets is a bit under 400 grams, and as it turns out, the smallest possible tin I can get is also 400 grams, so I might go out later and just buy the tin.

I should sell them and get rich, yeah?

So. Is Qilby the kind of person who'd be interested in ingesting psychedelic substances.

I should have expected that, but I didn't think the old man had it in him.

Hopefully not haha.

Yukeh and I will be going to Japan for two weeks with three other friends. Flight is tomorrow morning.

enjoy your time in Japan!
