Airport Security and Cubes

[PatrickJameson]

I've been checked twice for, not my cubes, but my magic . Apparently it looks like razor blades.

 

[nitrocan]

Lol, I've never been checked for my cubes.

 

[4Chan]

I've never been checked.
It would an interesting experience, I imagine.

 

[Me Myself & Pi]

Wow! I'm gonna look forward to the reactions of the security when my family flies south to visit relatives for Thanksgiving! I wonder if I'll manage to get a video? :rolleyes:

I have been on a plane once before since I started cubing, but I was by myself & I'm not conferable cubing sitting next to strangers. But since my family is going too, I'll definitely cube on the plane!

I'll be darned the day a terrorist uses a cube to hide and use a bomb

 

[Kolraz]

Thanks for the advice on language Charlie

It's interesting to see how there is such inconsistency in security throughout different parts of the world.

The only thing that's happened to me like this was when they made me spread my arms and ran a metal detector across me and then the guy took my stackmat timer out of my pocket and asked me what it was.

I've lost lube many times, but never a cube. I was afraid one of mine would be confiscated on my way to US Nationals though.

 

[Thieflordz5]

I haven't ever had any cubes confiscated, I was traveling from CO~CA (and even from CO~MA) and I was just fine...

they are too paranoids. it`s just a cube not a bomb. . .

I never was told to get my cubes out or been asked what my stackmat was and I always put as many cubes as I can in my hand-luggage on purpose to have some fun! I guess I have to fly more often...
Actually HYPOTHETICALLY speaking, cubes could be a hiding place for drugs... if you would make a fake Gigaminx and make it hollow... probably doesn't work xD but the dog might end up being knocked out by all the silicone spray odor :rolleyes:

Neither is a tube of toothpaste, but they make you take it out of your bag when you go security anyway.

I was thinking this myself. When I looked on the scanner it showed just the cubes colours and squares of plastic, I don't think it could properly see "inside" the cube as such. Wouldn't this be a major flaw in the security?
Does anyone know what the scanners can actually see? My guess is they can't see inside.

C4Y cubes would be ideal (edge and corner caps to fill)

 

[Kolraz]

Haha I suppose so, but it would be a messy job getting it out again on the other side.

A holey Gigaminx with plugs!!!

Yes Erik, yes you do. Soon please, as I'm not coming to Belgium and I haven't seen you since, OMG a LONG time.

 

[Edmund]

Couldn't bring a bottle of CRC silicone on a plane.

That's what small plastic bags are for

 

[V-te]
