I have had friends travel with cannabis without problems, but just need to know if there is a threat of being caught in the airport.

I will conceal it within my carry-on, but will the X-ray machine be able to detect it? In the past my friends would simply walk through security with the pot in their pocket but with the new body-scanners and patdowns I don't think I will do that.

Any advice?

You can check the web site in my signature line for current information about <whole body scanner> use at the airports you've be using. You may find that at least one of the airports doesn't have <whole body scanners> machines or is pretty easy to self-opt out.
