This has already been a problem on dozens of flights since 9/11. Not to mention the love of screeners to call the DEA anytime they think they've made a "big score" by catching someone with drugs (diverting attention away from looking for bombs, of course).
There was a thread a few months ago where a girl got arrested and jailed for weeks for having a condom filled with flour in her carry-on as a gag stress ball. What's worse is that there were dozens of FT members cheering the fact that she was jailed for three weeks, claiming she "got what she deserved" for traveling with a white powder.

Exactly! The experienced traveler knows to just brush his teeth with the pills directly, to cut out the weight and hassle of carrying around a toothbrush.
