Eh, nitro people can't get nitro shipped unless its by expensive hazmat shipping. Thankful its not that.

Looks like they will work around the guidelines easily enough. At my company we have to ship chemicals all over the world, and there are quite a few regs how things get packaged, allowable amts and types of classifications and labelling.

I know of a particular idiot at another company who put a highly toxic chemotherapy drug (pure active ingredient, fatal in parts per billion amts) into a metal container, filled it w/ dry ice, and sealed it air tight, and left it in a shipping dept w/ a note to be sent out overseas for some reason. Basically he unwittingly built a large pipe bomb filled w/ poisonous biological agents, and he wanted to put in on a plane for a trip over the atlantic. Terrorists would be pissing in their pants to get a hold of something like this.

Fortunately it was found first by someone w/ a f'ing clue before it blew up, and somehow the guy still got his promotion that year. 0_o
