So, I'm heading to Chicago tomorrow and I was wondering, how do you guys travel with Poppers?  I've heard horror stories and I've heard that it's no big deal, so I thought I'd ask here. I was considering just putting it in my little plastic bag in my carry-on as thought it was nail polish remover or something similar.  

 

If I didn't take them with me, is there any place in Chicago to buy the good poppers? I've heard Steamworks and Man's Country as well as one or two porn shops sell them.

But is that in your carry-on or checked? I'm probably not checking any bags, if I were I'd put them in there and not worry.

 

Edit: Just realized I never said I was flying.

The TSA's mission is to ensure the safety of the flight. They do not see themselves as enforcing state law. They have one--and only one--mission.

 

I know people who travel all they time with poppers. If they confiscate them it would be for safety reasons (fumes, flammable), not legal.

 

A friend of mine ran the operations at 3 different airports for a national carrier (but a smallish one). Each month the TSA would give him all the stuff they confiscated from that airlines' passengers. The number 3 most common item: rubber cement. I don't know why anyone travels with rubber cement (except maybe kindergarten teachers with a huffing problem), but there you have it.

I just put them in with my other toiletries in a checked bag. Never had a problem on either domestic or international flights. I figure the worst that can happen is they confiscate (steal?) them.

 

Once, a couple of summers ago, at the minuscule Provincetown, Mass., airport I was dropping off a friend for his flight home and there was an amateurish laser-printed page taped up near TSA screening that said Warning: if you have poppers in your bag you must discard them before approaching.  We laughed -- only in a gay little town like Provincetown! -- but my friend pulled a half-used bottle out of his bag and handed it to me before heading for his plane.  

 

Don't sweat it.

I would not carry it in carry on and I would not travel without checked luggage, but I have a bottle of lavender oil with a dropper that I use for my dogs and it looks like a popper bottle, so if I had to I would empty one of those out and refill it with poppers.

Theyre not illegal to posess so theres no problem transporting them.

 

I just got back to NC from NY two weeks ago. Checked a large bottle of Jungle Juice and had no problems with TSA.
