Well nothing is 100% guaranteed, but take two guys:
1) Has a baggie of pills in his pocket, hasn't washed his hands and has residue on them, has residue on his wallet
2) baggie of pills tightly wrapped multiple times, then put inside a condom, then taped in the crotch area, has washed meticulously and has no drug residue on his body or clothing.
Which do you think has the biggest chance of getting through safely?
Obviously nothing is 100%, but precautions can make the difference between having a great day and having your day ruined/potentially facing massive ramifications for your life and future.
Traces of cocaine taint up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States, a new study finds.
A group of scientists tested banknotes from more than 30 cities in five countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, and Japan, and found "alarming" evidence of cocaine use in many areas.
U.S. and Canadian currency had the highest levels, with an average contamination rate of between 85 and 90 percent, while Chinese and Japanese currency had the lowest, between 12 and 20 percent contamination.
A few years ago I had my wallet swabbed at Melbourne airport. Was absolutely shitting myself because there had been shitloads of coke in the wallet in the previous couple of weeks.
Didn't remember until after I had been cleared that I had accidentally swam in the sea the week before with my wallet still in my pocket. Saltwater evidently is your friend.

A few years ago I had my wallet swabbed at Melbourne airport....
it was also lucky that they were only testing for explosive residue and not narcotics!![]()
I was under the impression they swabbed for both. Ill have a google around later to find out.
They don't. Explosives only. Of course they are not going to tell us that though.
Actually that's not true, the two swabs are separate, one for explosives, one for drugs. I have been swabbed by both at the same airport metres apart.
2 swabs? There is only one test.
The main test done at most airports is indeed explosives, but some airports have more than one test in operation at a time, when this is the case, sometimes one is for explosives the other for drugs (but not always)
When there is only one test being carried out it is generally the explosives one
