Can X-Ray see through tin foil?

I just bought a roll of aluminum foil from Amazon.com (Martha Wrap). Lets hope they dont scan my package, right?

But to answer the question, if the material is denser inside the package than outside the package, the X-Ray will see it.

for sure''''''''''''''

I second this on x-ray issues.. Though I doubt odour proofing a dvd case is even possible against a good dog, and if it is, it would take some serious discipline and skill..

Triple Vacuum Seal and research the criteria for suspicious packages.

You owe the Oracle two nice compliments given to strangers.

People don't wear tinfoil hats for nothing.That stuff holds amazing powers.

A suspicious package usually involves large surface areas of tin-foil, especially if it contains a liquid or organic substance... Does noone else watch "Nothing to Declare" ?

Better to use a bogus return address. No return address on a package seems unusual.

Shape — Is it lopsided or uneven? Is it rigid or bulky?

Look — Are there oily stains, discolorations, or crystals on the
wrapper? Does it have a strange odor?

Address — Is there a return address? Are there restrictive
markings? Are there misspelled words? Is it addressed to a title
rather than to an individual? Is it an incorrect title? Is it poorly
typed or written?

Packaging — Is it sealed with tape? Is there excessive tape?
Is there excessive postage?
