   resist – since 9/11 screeners have gotten strict with their rules. However, if you are meaning something like a lighter – put it in your checked baggage rather than your carryon.

   The nature of the “illicit” materials changes the answer. I strongly recommend not attempting to take weaponry of any sort on board. And expect to give answers for replicas of such.
   If you can do it, the best thing to do is to mail it ahead of yourself. This will get the stuff there without dealing with personal searches.
   If you need the material for personal use on board (magazines, lubricants, whatever…) they’ll usually let it go with a quirky smile… as long as you aren’t out to hurt anyone, you’re probably in good shape. If you truly need it (medicine), talk to someone ahead of time, explaining your condition.
   A bit more information on the nature of the material (is it C-4?) would be helpful.
