Powder chemicals and Airports

[maajka]

I'm going back home (from US to Europe) in May and I though about taking darkroom essentials with me. D-76, Kodak fixer, Hypo, film, canister, changing bag.
Is it OK to put these chemicals in the luggage?

By the way, if this is ok, what other relatively cheap powder developer would you recommend for pushing tri-x (arista premium), as well as for normal development.

It would be a good idea to ship the supplies. I think you may have some trouble bringing chemicals on a plane.

I'm a +1 on that...or at least call ahead and ask them the same question...😀

I recently flew internationally from the US with D-76, powdered fixer and developing tank in checked baggage. No problem.

Don't be ridiculous... Why would there be problems with powdered chemistry?

Put it in checked baggage. No problem, I ferried lot of those back and forth between UK and SEA

Awesome, my best is getting married so I'll try to take some pictures if I get a chance (I'm the best man).

He knows nothing about photography but he always told me how he likes b&w film photos.
Film just somehow has soul... His words.

Hey, when it comes to having some TSA agents hand in your ass, I'll rather ask.

The question is why take all that junk in the first place; do you think there is no D-76 or no fixer in Europe? Where are you going?

 

[maajka]

First to small town in Bosnia, none of the local photo shops sells b&w stuff, maybe special order. Also, everything is much cheaper here anyways, especially since the dollar is so weak now against euro.

With TSA you'd never know.
