Do you guys put the teeth in your checked or carry-on luggage?
I was told to put the teeth in 10% buffered formalin. I don't think TSA will allow so much liquid in my carry-on luggage, but wouldn't it cause suspicion when they scan the checked luggage and find 200 human teeth in solution?

Shoot, it's causing suspicion right now.

I'm picturing Dexter with his blood slides.

hes flying with them cuz everyone tells us to collect teeth for the time we get into dental school. assuming he got into an out of state school he would have to fly them haha. funny i had the same question.


i guess maybe there is a way to mail them somehow through a special mail (thinking of like all these scientific companies how do they send u the packages full of cells and specimens and chemical and what not)? who knows lol!

Lol, just take them out of the liquid, dry them and put it in a ziploc bag, then when you arrive take them out and put them back in the jar. easy Oh and if they question you, show TSA your Dental school acceptance letter, they will understand
