absinthe isnt illegal, why are you trying to "smuggle" it ?

it is in the US. the stufff i have is czech and contains thujone (from wormwood) and i'm 20 which means the alcohol part alone isnt cool with US customs.

the chances of them opening a package and caring that theres a bottle of absinthe in there, 1/1000000
the chances of them opening a listerine bottle and noticing it isnt listerine, 1/10

or just order it of the net, borrow someones card and order the shit. its only illegal to drink- and sale in establishments. as long as it has that not for consumption sticker and its not been opened it cool to have and bring to the states.

I find this hard to believe, but if you really did get away with this, you are one lucky fuck.

1 liter = 1000 ml
so if 1 L = 1000ml x2 = 2000 L
Transportation Security Administration
http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm
Carry on
Non-flammable liquid, gel, or aerosol paint Yes - 3 oz. or smaller container
So if
1 liter = 33.8 US ounces
That like a hell over the limits.
I would have to agree on hard to believe but possible.

they didnt look in any of my bags. went through customs answered questions, ran bags through scanner. no search. i dont know about those rules because i also walked on the plane with a philly cheesesteak and large coke.
i lied though, cracked open teh crown royal and it was 750mL, not 1L. my bad. the johnny walker is 1L tho.

usually once they run the bags through the scanner they will take you to the side and go through it with you if you have any liquids
maybe they werent paying attention or the guy was like, why should I ruin this guys fun
