Airport xrays will read right through that. They work on colors dependent upon organic and non organic material.
if u dont carry it on it prbly wont matter

Airports are owned by local and state governments. The TSA has NO power to arrest people. Best thing or a worst idea is, the TSA finds it, and they will call the police. Then the "Best" things that could happen is they would either, take it away, you even let you fly, or bad arrest you saying you are trying to take it to X and sell it.
I know a few people who have been flying from N cal cal to So cal and the police did not do anything because its state legal and staying in state.

If it was buds maybe. But you're talking about xrays reading the difference between plant wax and petroleum wax. I don't think they are that sophisticated. Either way, I've flown out of SFO like that several times and have never had a problem. I know a lot of people who bring bud through SFO without issue.
I just don't think taking stuff out of SFO is a problem. I've done it several times as do a lot of people I know. Never heard of anyone having an issue.

Its not so much that. It would be a big hassle and I'd probably miss my flight. Not a good way to start a vacation.

They are that sophisticated. It all weighs on the retard sitting in the chair and if they are paying attention or not. The colors change dependent on what is inside.
Blue equals hard materials. Metal (blue/black), hard plastics, alloys etc. For example, your gun or your metal knife will show up as blue or black or a mix. So will wires, your sunglasses case, batteries, etc.
Orange is biological material. Anything that is natural, that is, and some things that aren’t. Rubber, leather, food, dynamite and other explosives (except plastique, that will turn slightly blueish), all liquids and gels and organic powders (like flour, for example).
Green is for plastics and alloys, where the density isn’t great enough to make it blue or black. This can also be ceramics, though only the densest of them. Normally, ceramics (think ceramic knives) will show up as orange.
You will notice there are organic materials put into the shaving cans and whatnot to show the xray will see through it and identify it. The safest way is to make a culero and shit it out when you arrive. I have crossed many borders and most were international so I know what I am talking about.

That is the exact point. TSA is powerless to arrest you so they will show their ass by telling you to give up the weed or miss the plan or hold you over and take the weed AND miss the plane. It really depends on the airport and the people there. Soon all of this will be over but for now it is not worth the risk. Weed is everywhere. Shouldn't be too hard to find no matter where you are.

I totally believe they can tell the difference between ceramic and metal. I call bullshit on the idea they are going to distinguish between two types of wax, both paraffin waxes. That would take something a lot more sophisticated than an xray. Even if they could tell the difference no one has ever taken a second look at my wax filled carmex containers.
and even on the remote chance they noticed a difference, they aren't going to do anything.

Ok. Here it is.

Dude was caught at with 7 pounds in his carry on flying to the east coast.
Here's what the prosecutor said about it:
Here's the recommendation on flying out of airports in CA
So there it is. Carry less than an ounce. Problem solved.
Anyone group says 8 ounces or less:

Unless someone can show evidence of someone getting busted with less than an ounce in recent years, I'd say that's a safe number. An ounce even without a rec is just a ticket now. It's doubtful they'd hold up a line for that.

If it was me I'd ship it to myself but I've done that sort of thing before so I'm not paranoid about it. It's far safer than getting caught in the airport.

I have friends from seattle that bring it. shit from cali too. just pop it in your checkin baggage and all good. the only thing is to make keep the smell sealed. things are super lax now, especially since the HI supreme court stated that we can "carry" our medical limit with us. if you get busted by TSA, they will call the local police. when they come, show your med card and they will have to let you go per state law. aloha, have fun
No bs answer here. Been traveling to Hawaii for the past 15 years from Cali. Get a simple smell proof plastic container. Pack a oz. Put it in your carry on or check in. Have your Cali rec.
You will have no issues at a Cali airport. I've had TSA open and smell it and smile once. I've never had police or dea waiting for me in HNL.
Have fun. Getting herb in Oahu is sketchy and quality is subpar at times.

If drug-sniffing dogs are present and their handler has prompted them to sniff for cannabis, they will smell it no matter how crafty you think you're being. Period. What happens next is a crap shoot. Not worth it, IMHO.

I've been on lots of planes and I've never been sniffed for a dog. Also it's debatable whether or not dogs are trained to sniff solvent extracts. Also what are they going to charge you with? Having less than an ounce? That's just a ticket. Also, it's San Francisco and they aren't going to do shit.

The uncertainty is what I was getting at. You haven't been sniffed. That's lucky. Others have. You aren't sure if dogs are trained to sniff out extracts? I'm not sure either, but I don't see why they wouldn't be. THC is THC, regardless of what solvent was used to extract it. (Besides, the solvent guys always try to claim that the solvent is "gone" in their final product, anyway). If you're caught with a concentrated cannabis product, the penalties are higher, too.
I'm not claiming to be the expert, or trying to start any argument here. I'm just saying with all the uncertainties, I personally don't think it's worth the risk. That's all.
