Security in airport baggage regarding drugs?

Question

My little sister is flying out here to the other side of the country (where I live) with my family for christmas and she is saying that she is going to bring her drugs (marijuana) here in her bag. I keep trying to talk her out of it, but she's a teenager who's incredibly stubborn and won't listen.

Anyways, since it seems to be inevitable that she's going to try to bring it, I was wondering what the odds are that she'll get caught?

She's bringing it in her luggage (not her carry-on bag) inside with her clothing and what-not. She's flying from Lambert airport in St. Louis to Sea Tac airport in Seattle.

Thanks for your help. I'm just worried that she's going to get caught with it and ruin the trip for herself and my parents.

Answer 1

Dont bother going to the airport to pick her up, she wont be there.

Answer 2

ALL bags are screened now. Gone are the days of random luggage checks. They are ALL x-rayed and many are hand inspected as well. If she locks her suitcase, then they will break the locks off of her suitcase... and no, they will not replace them. Lets not forget about the narcotics dogs that walk around and sniff luggage as they go by too.

Your sister is asking for trouble.

Answer 3

they have no subjects with a digital camera. Batteries won't be allowed, in spite of the reality that I had no problems with my digital camera . Indian airlines and Jet airlines do no longer enable photos on board. I dont be attentive to approximately Kingfisher , Indigo or the different airlines. the final element could be verify on the verify in counter .
