How do you have any idea at all as to whether it is an illegal drug? You have had zero training from the TSA in identifying such (because if the TSA would train, then they could no longer say they are only searching for prohibited items.) As such, it must be from personal observation, which wouldn't reflect well on most. There is no requirement for you to be able to say whether a bag of oregano might be a bag of marijuana or a white powdery substance might be anything other than flour, so TSO's should just let it go. The TSA knows that it is walking a very fine line in telling TSO's to report illegal drugs, but not giving them the tools to determine what might be illegal. Too many false positives can therefore result.

Yes, just like the passenger that is being sought when a terminal is dumped is always found.
About as likely as passing a Red Team Test.
