Yes please let's take products that will be protecting people and give them to the police so they know what they are looking for.
Lol. Been my experience that if a cop searches your stuff, he/she actually
looks inside your containers, too.
If the beagle (which is commonly used in people dense security situations) couldn't smell her treats, the bags work well.
I tested a similar product back in 2010 when Flat-D Innovations ("420 Stealth") was a sponsor, and placed an almost full package of catnip (that had just been shredded open by two cats) inside one, walked back into the room they were in, and threw the pouch onto the floor between them. They walked over, sniffed it... and walked away.
Yeah, I know, dogs' sense of smell is more powerful than cats', so this was inconclusive.
Activated charcoal can be reactivated with heat.
Yes, but it really needs to be considerably hotter than the average clothes dryer, lol, and done in the absence of oxygen. That's why baking the "spent" carbon granules from a carbon filter in one's oven at "Broil" (550°F?) in an attempt to reactivate it doesn't work all that well and the filter doesn't work as long as it did the first time. It's done in huge rotating kilns that are heated to 700°C - 900°C (up to 1,652°F). And there are other steps (information lifted from Calgon Carbon's website):
After an activated carbon’s adsorptive capacity has been exhausted, it can be returned to Calgon Carbon for thermal reactivation. With high temperature reactivation followed by off-gas treatment, the absorbed organic compounds are destroyed and reactivated carbon can be safely and cost-effectively recycled back to facilities for continued use. A number of important steps are involved in the reactivation process:
- Spent activated carbon is heated in furnaces devoid of oxygen using steam as a selective oxidant.
- Absorbed organics are either volatilized from the activated carbon or pyrolysed to a carbon char.
- Volatilized organics are destroyed in the furnace’s afterburner.
- Acid gases are removed by means of a chemical scrubber.
- The high-temperature reaction with steam serves to restore the adsorptive capacity of the activated carbon.
Through reactivation, the spent granular activated carbon can be recycled for reuse, virtually eliminating the costs and long-term liability associated with disposal.
Now that I think about it, I think the only real benefit that baking one's carbon filter media provides is probably that, when we remove it and reinstall it, it gets put back into the filter shell in a random order - meaning that the air passing through it ends up passing over different pieces/surfaces than it did the first time.
If you're going to be traveling with cannabis, and your carbon pouch is in any way questionable, buy a new one. It'll cost you a lot less than a lawyer will, lol, and some LEO will attempt to confiscate your vehicle (and often succeed) if you're caught with any real quantity. Oh, and vacuum seal the stuff, scrub your hands/wrists with a good solvent, and scrub the outside of the sealed package before sticking it in your carbon pouch. Too careful might be annoying... but not careful enough is far more so.
