So this is why liquids are banned on our carry on items...

I think most of the powders would still be caught by bomb sniffing dogs and other scanners, but I think most airports aren't scannin for radio-isotopes, so I suggest you go nuclear.

You could try mixing baking soda and citric acid powder in a baggie and then enclosing with it a little fragile container (mini-ziploc, wax-encased, small water balloon or similar) of water, then rupture the small bag, and watch it pop.

Just like a glowstick! Can you find a small fragile glass vial?

And with this post, the FAA is now putting all members of the LoT under surveillance.

Actually, I wonder about that. Scanning for radiation would be much easier and cheaper than most of the other scanning they have to do, and it could be much more passive.

I have no idea if they do, but it would be easier to do without them telling us.
