How to cut off smell

[czattcla]

Does vacuum sealing in a laboratory setting (cutting off substance from
touching plastic except on the one side it is going to be in, rubber gloves
must be used, and a vacuum with 99.9% efficiency is used to seal it) cut
off the sense of smell of what is on the inside enough to throw off drug
dogs??

depends on what you are making in the lab. 99% does sound pretty good though. post what kind of lab andswim willask around. Edited by: als5555

This is sort of theoretical, as I'm assuming these are the methods used in
an amsterdam smart shop.. I'm guessing if I were to put the vaccuum
sealed package in Isobropyl Alcohol for a couple of days, then
theoretically it could bypass with swim the dogs at customs as well.Edited by: czattcla

as long as they dont ask you to open your bags. This could happen, and with you speaking of customs i assume your flying back to the US and have to go through customs there.

You might want to dip the sealed bag in diluted bleach also and wrap it again just in case there's some trace smell left on the exterior of the bag. Sniffer dogs have an extremely advanced sense of smell and even some trace can alert them, especially if it's marijuana.

Whatever you do, don't try to mask the smell of whatever you're smuggling by putting into something else e.g. coffee. Dogs smell in layers and can easily recognise several different smells at the same time. They're also trained to smell coffee because most people try to smuggle illegal narcotics in coffee and it's a pure give-away.

Good luck!

I guess it really comes to is if there is no air, will there be no smell ie does
smell exist in a vacuum. No dog no matter how sophisticated its sense of
smell is, would be able to defy physics.

But it is only 99.9% vacuum. So that still leaves .1% of a chance for there to be some smell. With 100% vacuum your are pretty much 100% guarenteed to be set, unless a visual inspection screws you. But with only a 99.9% vacuum there would be a .1% chance of a smell.
