Ok the really important question

[zeke4ahs]

I’m not sure I’ve tried to smuggle in alcohol since the days when it was quite easy to do so. Purely for scientific reasons, ( to keep warm) I want to bring in a couple of airplane size fireball bottles. Will they be ok in my mittens or boots or whatever huge excess of bodily apparel I’ll have on to keep warm? Or will I get humiliated and thrown in IU jail?

I always use the boots. Go Hoosiers!

If they're digging in your shoes, then you're screwed anyway. Massive grin!

That reminds me of the time TSA at the Indy airport was looking inside my Sperry Top Sider shoe when she pulled something out ... was it explosives or something that could be a danger to fly with ????

She asked "what is this??? .... me ... "it's a red bloodhound hair that my sock must have tracked into my shoe".

Needless to say, she was speechless ... but I WAS allowed to board the plane. 😂

Well, now that you told them...

Just don't do it stupidly like me and my buddy who put our whisky and coke, mostly whisky, into a thermos for the Indy National Drags back in the 90s. We could have kept the flasks in our jacket pockets. Guy at the gate says 'remove the lid on that thermos' and we're five or six feet away and he says "I can smell that from here! Dump it." lol

My daughter tells me to use vodka, no odor. Keep in a plastic container to avoid the metal detectors. Store around groin to avoid pat downs.
She makes me so proud sometimes.

plastic flask with blackberry brandy. great for cold weather. I once stuck a 12 pack in my 8 year buddies kids backpack, without telling either one of them, should I feel guilty? my wife used to put beer cans under a few tampons in her purse. Made the ticket personnel feel real uncomfortable. Always worked, and a few times, in the eighties, I just carried in 12 packs under a long duster. Those were the days. Go Hoosiers stomp the toiletmakers!

They never make anyone take off their shoes. Slows down the line too much. Use the boots.

Good to know. I bought three soft plastic flasks earlier this season. Haven’t needed them yet because I’ve driven every game. Got the GF to drive this week. And I bought a BUCKET of 20 fireballs to ward off the cold. Probably gonna bring in 10 or so after the tailgate (to share).

Plastic lids and you’re good

It is a myth that alcohol helps keep you warm when exposed to the cold. In fact it is dangerous and makes the situation worse. Just saying…
