Just don't take any bombs or heroine, u should be fine.
I'm off to Thailand on Saturday, just occured to me that I've borrowed a backpack of my mate who smokes ridiculous amounts of weed and this is often whilst out camping. Best check all the pockets eh?
and wash it! unless you want to be a sniffer-dog magnet everywhere you go

In fact perhaps you want to buy a new one... Unless you want to take the risk of a very large and irritable Thai customs agent with rubber gloves trying to find what set the sniffer dogs off...
And don't do what I did (and this was before even 9/11). When the bloke asked the questions about anyone being able to interfere with your bag (like you'd admit it
) I turned to the wife and said "So you've not got a bomb in there?" And the bloke had a sense of humour failure and sent us off to be searched

Apparently the bloke, when asked the usual quesions, said "yeah, I've got a bomb". He was asked to carefully consider his answer, and respond again. "Yeah, I've got a bomb".
Security were called over and didn't see the funny side of his joke, and nor did the airline. I think my mate finished his shift as the woman was bawling her eyes out at having been told the airline would not transport them full stop.

Don't even think of taking it! A sniffer dog would smell it out even if it's empty and you're automatically a suspect and may get a LOT OF HASSLE!!! just one grain of that shit and in Thai you're in deepshit!!!
does puzzle me why people deem it something funny to do!
In alot of airports now there are signs saying something along the lines of..."any mention of the word bomb, serious or otherwise, will be taken as said and you may be refused to fly" (or something like that, but you get the general idea - basically to stop the comedians getting themselves an 'inspection'

$hit!!
Good job I read this thread and it planted the seed (so to speak...ahem).
That's me down the rucksac shop this aft then.
Lets face it if the Thai police were to suspect you, and they will BIG time with a 'smelly' rucksack, you could be held almost indefinately in some grubby Thai prison 'awaiting' trial as a dealer. Who knows, some packets might even magically appear to strengthen the prosecutions case...
We've all seen the horrendous films about caught dealers etc. Don't put yourself at risk.
As someone who flies regularly as a profession, I too would have a sense of humour failure if someone mentioned bombs or drugs. They would be off and looking for alternative transport rather quickly. In fact, if it happened in flight we would find a sh1thole to divert to to drop the idiot off in.
Its not UK law you should be afraid of...
