In case You're Wondering

[Jim Davis]

On one of my many trips out of IAH (Houston Intercontinental Airport) a TSA Agent was suspicious of my portable hard drive. (Which is understandable) While searching my Computer Case, he took out my Nicostick, and asked what it was. I told him it was a homemade e-cig. He told me there was no problem with it, but he would have to swab it. He rubbed the pad on my e-cig stuff, and it was obvious that the pad had picked up a lot of juice residue. The machine beeped an OK, and he said "That's it, you're finished" I packed up my stuff and went to my gate.

So if you're wondering, the answer is NO. E-juice will NOT set off the explosives alarm on the swabbing equipment. There are no chemical properties in e-juice that will cause an alarm in security.

Any thoughts on the bigger PVs? Prodigy, Chuck..how do I explain those on the carry-ons..now that airport security has been upped once again!
Maybe they look a bit like pipe-bombs..?

Misty;
I'm sure most of the mods will look suspicious, but when explained to the Security People, they have no problem with them. Some security people have heard of them, but have never seen them. In a case like this, you may have to do a demonstration.

Bottom line. they don't care about e-cigs.

Hey Jim,
I especially like that double barreled e-cig mod you are carrying in your avatar. Ever have any troubles with the TSA when boarding with that one?

Maybe you should carry a printout of the PV that might help.

That one will have to stay home. Who knows what else will happen after the loony Nigerian tried to set off that crotch bomb.

I suspect the second guy was going to try the same thing but was unaware what happened to the first guy until he got on the plane.It might take an hour to flush a pair of jockeys with explosives in them.He burnt his what off?excuse me I gotta go to the can.
