swim had checked luggage searched 4 times out of 5 trips (10 flights). Ironically, the only time swim had anything, was the time no one got checked.
They apparently just pick completely random bags to tear apart; you will find a little TSA (? the security people) card in your bag if it happens. But since this can happen to anyone for no reason, never, NEVER put weed in checked luggage.
also avoid putting it in the carry-on, because they can search that if you forget to take any liquids out. It would suck to go to jail for a fucking tube of toothpaste.
And just put in your pocket, because they will not search you, unless you set off the metal detectors and cant locate the object that caused it to go off. And even then, they will just frisk you with their little wand thing, and I have never heard of the police being allowed to let the dogs actually sniff people.
leave the pipe at home, and just smoke joints for the time being. But if you have to bring it, clean it real good and put it in your checked luggage with a pack of buggler tobacco (like 2$).
A little of topic, but there is this bodybuilding spray called "Hot Stuff" and helps with soreness and craps, kinda like icyhot or bengay. It contains a very small amount of OC/pepper spray (as a counter-irritant), among other mentholy-funky smelling stuff. If you spray it on you (it doesn't hurt) it can really fuck with the dogs senses, to point where they may even start a coughing fit, and it will over power any smoke smell if your worried about parents or so for other times.
That was a damn long post, and now its time to have my own little coughing fit

Not bad for a 1st, eh?
I'm not talking skunk or anything like that, usually more like snuff with seeds.
