Tumblr age test!

I have a physical, visceral memory of watching 15 of these get carefully swabbed for explosives residue then handed to me in a big loose pile at LAX in 2003 because they couldn't go through the x-ray scanner.

yeah but never saw a white one before?? Why the hell would it be translucent???

if the object meant to go inside has been prepared correctly, then it doesn't matter that the cylinder is translucent. i've seen them look exactly like this and have also seen them black with a grey lid. In the country i live in they're more common as shown in the image nowadays. at least the ones i still use today always look like that!

oyy so apparently I am old enough that "prepared correctly" was Not A Thing because I have only ever seen them black and grey.
