had heard that Melaleuca would measure as an explosive, so most of us
put it in our checked luggage, and didn't have it with our carry-on.
But one of the people in our group forgot to do that. Not only that,
but he'd used the Melaleuca the night before, and then handled the
other bottles. At the SLC airport when you hand-carry things thru -
they test each bottle on some sort of a geiger-counter-like machine.
Sure enough, his Melaleuca didn't pass the test. And several other
bottles of oils didn't either - probably because they had the residue
of the Melaleuca on them. But the surprise was the brand new bottle
of Patchouli - it was off the charts - registered as an explosive. (He
did not handle that one the night before at all.) He had 5 or 6
bottles of oils confiscated at the airport. Personally, after watched
that little scenario, I will not hand-carry my oils thru the airpot.
It's not worth losing them.
