Have any of you had any problems at the airport while having Creatine or other supplements with you in your luggage? Most of these supplements are in powder form and I'm not sure if airport security would be suspicious. Thanks!

Boy, I don't know. But I know I was worried. I flew to Washington not too long ago, and I took 2 gallon baggies full of protein with me. It was vanilla too, so it really looked the part. Boy, if they didn't look like drugs, I don't know what did. I was dreading explaining it..uh, officer, it is protein! Yeah right, come with us. Anyway, it didn't happen, but good luck to you.

I had the same thing happen to me. I was crossing into Canada with my 5 lb jug of vanilla protein, and I was asked to pullover (I had my dog with me). Well, I let the border agent know that the white powdery substance was protein, and I kinda made a joke about it, but he knew it wasn't anything illegal. He knew what he was looking for, especially smell and texture. I wouldn't worry to much, if they are not dumb, then they will know it isn't anything illegal.
