China Reentry Concern
This was the situation: Last year, I entered China and stayed for a week just fine. As I was going through security at the Beijing airport on the way out (to go back to the US), the security guards stopped me, pulled me aside, reached into my bag and pulled out a old weed cart I hadn't seen in years, sitting at the bottom of my bag. I was shocked, and I told them I didn't know what it was and that it’s not from here. I don’t think they really understood. Two officers took a look at the pen, but since it was oddly shaped and not obvious that it was a pen, they sort of just gave up, and gave it back to me and told me to go. Since I was since so rattled, I (stupidly) handed the pen back to them and said I don’t want it anymore, and asked them to throw it out for me. I have no idea what they did with it after that, if a formal investigation or filing was started, or anything else. I reached back to the US and nothing happened.
I'm not sure if I can enter China safely again. I'm planning on going for another week in around 1-2 months, but I'm not sure if I should. Given my situation, what should I do? Would it be wise to book a consultation with a travel lawyer? What might happen on reentry this next time around?
