Travelers often ask, does TSA catch edibles at airport security? The answer to this question is more complicated than it seems at first. First, the main purpose of TSA screening is to detect and prevent any possible threats to aviation safety and not to hunt down cannabis edibles.

Nevertheless,the edibles can still be found by TSA. In case when the items cause some doubts and are identified as the prohibited substances, the officers may report the case to the local authorities. There may be some differences based on which airport you are passing through and which state's law is applicable in this case, as well as the fact if you are traveling domestically or internationally.

It should be mentioned that another thing to keep in mind while traveling is the packaging of your product. Gummies, chocolates, and other kinds of edibles look alike common products; however, attempting to hide it can bring extra troubles for you. Check the latest information about the policies of TSA and the applicable laws while planning your trip.
