I did a bit of reading. Looks like it's only undetected if it's in your arse.

Well.....
If you stashed it up your backside, they wouldnt need to run you though a xray to find it.........they check if your walking like an chicken.
I believe that the machines are setup for detecting firearms, knives and other illegal objects which are in your pockets or strapped up with duck tape on you back (like in die hard).
But if anybody thinks that you can get away with it up your back side you are wrong;
1. Police dogs (if they are around) can smell if its up there,
2. If you go on a plane, your gut trys to push out excess pressure to componsate while airborn (flatuance), if you have somthing up there, you will get very bad cramps and it can be damaging or fatal (if you have had repair ops down there).
3. Seriously the police will look at the way you are walking and if they suspect somthing, they will put on the arm length glove.
Conclusion = put it in your bag and pray to god they dont decide to randomly sniff you bags.
Also i have heard that if you are traveling by yourself, you are more likely to be stopped by customs.

Boognish............
I've carried on all of my trips so far and travelled different ways. First trip travelled with 3 friends, we drove all the way in my friends tiny Suzuki Alto. On the way back at Calais ferryport,customs were thoroughly searching a car in the line next to us. We were all carrying, I had about 8gs of various strains on my persons.Customs officers just asked where we'd been,we lied and said we staid in France and on we went no probs.
When I fly I only carry hash as it doesn't stink and obviously smaller,I post the weed back.Thats a rule I've had from day 1, its just too risky nowadays.
My last trip on new years we came back via Harwich and I can't say I saw any x ray machines. There were customs officers just beyond passport control desks picking people out though. It was just myself and my fiance travelling and was all good, had few grams of hash as always. We did see customs pick out 2 young lads travelling together though.They did look like very obvious stoners if u know what I mean.

three years ago (at schipol) i forgot and packed in my ruck a cork screw...this was picked out...they then took out my bud buddy & pipe they ditched the cork screw and opened the grinder, and asked what the grinder contained...
i replied that it was only a residue but they still insisted upon tapping out the crumbs and granules prior to it being returned to me... i always remember the officers reply to my protestation... "yes but your government is against this sort of thing" and wanting the last word (i was not carrying) i again insisted that it had only been a residue !
junior, the fresh faced officer, (little lad) who's eyes had light up when he discovered my pipe then had his twopenneths worth and said they could arrange a strip search
!knowing full well i was clean and not just well showered
i retorted "thats up to you sonny"needless to say they must have got the message and i was allowed to procede

This is 100% NOT true .
I know loads of people who have not had any of these things .
The op thing is common sense .
