Fly Trans-Love Airline –
SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 – To be clear: LAX is not saying you can fly pot back to your state where it’s illegal to possess. But if you’re flying from Los Angeles to Colorado (or another state where recreational marijuana possession is legal), you might be okay … If you’re planning on traveling with marijuana, get to the airport early as the process to get through security may not be seamless. There’s a tricky loophole those in possession of marijuana should be aware of. Carrying marijuana is still a federal crime, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents are federal employees. If they find pot in your carry-on, you could be stopped for further search and questioning. If security agents find marijuana, they will “turn you over to local authorities,” a TSA spokesperson told CBS Los Angeles.
