travelling Silica Gel

[wetman]

Has anyone had an issue travelling with these suspicious looking packages? I would think someone who is totally unfamiliar with their use might wonder what was in them.

Its just that i'm off to cuba in a few weeks and would like to know if they'll think i'm smuggling something exotic into the country.

thanks,

steve

Haven't had any problems yet. Had the packets stuffed in a plastic bag right inside the housing, no one questioned them. Of course, much would depend on the screeners.

I haven't had a problem. I suppose if it was loose in small baggies it might cause a stir but the way they are packaged, I don't think arouses suspension

I think silica gel is pretty clearly marked if it is in the original package and from the instructions if you need to renew it just stick in the microwave..
