Now THAT is good scouting. Beats the shit out of “capture the flag.”
I noticed that the security lines at O’Hare include an “amnesty box” for cannabis. In theory, one may drop off any pot carried through security, to prevent it from being sniffed by dogs in another country or state without legalized dope. OK, the idea is fine. It’s a good idea to avoid foreign prisons. I’ve seen “Midnight Express.” I get it. My only question is this: what happens to all the dope left in those boxes? Maybe it works like that episode of Seinfeld where they call in Newman to consume the excess muffins, except they call in Seth Rogan. (Or Snoop, or Willie Nelson, or Bill Maher. They probably have to keep all those guys on speed dial.)
I would think that any weed left in an amnesty box at O’Hare would be incinerated. We can all get a laugh about how the TSA gets free weed from the box, but if I worked for the TSA and was inclined to smoke weed I wouldn’t smoke THAT weed. It would be too easy for someone to lace weed with something ranging from LSD to a poison. Some people might think lacing it with LSD would be funny and others might just really DISLIKE the TSA. Hard to believe, I know. Still, I am sure there are plenty of people out in the world that would happily consume the contents regardless of the risk.
Back in the day I always kept a strategic reserve of Thin Mints to deal with really serious munchies.
