Lavatube through court security

[dotma]

So yesterday I went to court with my grown daughter (long story). You have to go through a metal detector and they inspect your luggage (aka purse). I had my Lavatube in there with the cute red cherry ming drip tip on it sticking out of my purse. He grabs that out and just holds it out and looks at me -- like "what the h...?" I told him it was an e cig and he says "Well thats the biggest e cig ive ever seen!" (darn right buddy hahahahaha). He then digs through my purse, opens up my case full of e juice and again stops without saying anything and just looks at me -- "e cig juice." -- Okay.

My daughter had her (my) pink eGo and he didn't give that a second glance at all.

So first of all, I am really glad he didnt try to take my Lavatube, because things coulda got ugly. Second, maybe I should take a smaller PV if i ever have to go through security lol.

Probably not a bad idea, to keep it safe if nothing else.

You, madam, are very brave.

I brought my buzz pro through court security ( I had to go with a friend) they looked at it then he asked if it works then asked where I got it from lol

 

[jtpjc]

Well, court has to be the safest place for anything. Maybe you can rent a locker there?

I don't know - now days some of these uptight little individuals might have taken offense at your comment (which I thought was funny) and used it as a reason to cause trouble.

i have to say, what a great forum for an argument on vaping. that it was a big 'mod' is perfect. i'm glad you escaped incident, but the litigious side of me kinda wishes they took it away. in the current climate, a few high profile cases would serve the cause well.

It's always good to hear about security people taking things in stride.

When I went for my divorce last year the deputy at courthouse security check asked me to demonstrate my PV. In the courthouse. Winning!

awesome. we need these guys on board. it's why i'm a fan of the bloog marketing approach. hollywood and cops. now if we can just get a PV appearance on a TV police drama.

I work in a courthouse and sometimes work security at the door. One day, a lady put her eGo in the tray with her other metal objects and I asked her how she liked it. She told me she loved it and BWB was her favorite juice. I've seen a few 510 minis, too.

there you go. thanks. that also tells us something about mainstream adoption. don't knock the minis. that's what reels em in.

I'm expecting vaping to eventually be associated with drug use. There are little hints here and there that people are starting to use laced juices. I've picked up results where people asked about illegal substances on Google searches in the past few months. That will be a problem for the traditional vaping community and could place a stigma on vaping. I hate to see that happen. Once it does, using it in front of security won't prove anything and there will still be suspicions of what's in the PV.

Just a thought.

yes. i agree this is the current track. there's always the 1% that screw it up. the anti-tobacco lobby has shifted to anti-nicotine of course. because 'we can't tell what you're smoking'.

this is a fascinating new fourth amendment issue. police procedure will have to adjust and evolve. read here that some cops carry specific substance test kits. maybe some sort of litmus paper would work also. in the mean time, keep a chemist on retainer and/or carry a full titration analysis kit in your trunk.

I agree too, and it really ticks me off that a bad few are eventually going to ruin it for all of us.

I took my Silver Bullet with Liquinator tank through court security. Thought didn't cross my mind that they would make you empty your pockets but apparently they do. Cop glanced at it and didn't say anything. Either that time or any of the several times I passed through to go outside a vape. You white guy dressed professionally in for jury duty in the ghetto. If I fit a different demographic questions may have been asked, either that or he knew what it was.
