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.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T02:33:09.000Z
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.
『-』
2014-04-05T02:35:00.000Z
ooh drugs
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T02:37:56.000Z
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
I would possibly put them in something not plastic baggies maybe..
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T02:40:00.000Z
;_; They're individually packed! For 14 days of travel. So I can just throw them away day by day once I drink the contents.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T02:41:11.000Z
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.
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?
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T02:43:55.000Z
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?
Yukeh
says 2014-04-05T02:46:11.000Z
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.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:00:05.000Z

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
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:08:53.000Z
their customs are really friendly, so i think you should be fine?
tbf it doesn't even look like drugs to me so idk
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:09:15.000Z
but if you like, you could put it in a tea bin as yukeh suggested. just to be on the safe side.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:22:04.000Z
It's kind of off-white. And afaik drugs are crystalline white?
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:24:02.000Z
yup.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:27:14.000Z
Pam, are you online anywhere?
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:27:28.000Z
just facebook and plurk at the moment.
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:27:32.000Z
what's up?
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:28:00.000Z
Just wanted to chat. XD
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:28:23.000Z
oh! pm me? might be delayed in responding after a bit, but yeah. right now i am idle.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:29:16.000Z
AIM? Or here?
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:29:30.000Z
here!
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:29:38.000Z
lol my trillian is fucking up. will need to fix that someday soon.
Lyn
says 2014-04-05T03:48:52.000Z
Anyway, I think I'll put it in my carry-on and just move to my check-in if needed...
Pᴀᴍᴍᴜ
says 2014-04-05T03:49:13.000Z
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.
Drae
says 2014-04-06T01:04:06.000Z
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
Drae
says 2014-04-06T01:05:34.000Z
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.
Drae
says 2014-04-06T01:07:21.000Z
To answer the original question: yes, it does look suspicious. Also, putting it into sth else will not make it look less suspicious.
Drae
says 2014-04-06T01:08:11.000Z
Powdered white stuff in large quantities in Asia travelling towards non-Asia is always suspicious.
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T04:39:03.000Z
Hng.
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T04:40:07.000Z
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.
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T05:11:39.000Z
I should sell them and get rich, yeah?
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T05:17:31.000Z
So. Is Qilby the kind of person who'd be interested in ingesting psychedelic substances.
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T05:36:18.000Z
I should have expected that, but I didn't think the old man had it in him.
Lyn
says 2014-04-06T06:30:29.000Z
Hopefully not haha.

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