And the insulation in about half the commercial planes. Did anyone else see that PBS Nova episode?

Couldn't there be a resonable quantity clause? It seems that a handful of tubes of paint in the belly wouldn't be cause for concern. I can understand maybe if it was a handful of buckets... Maybe these paints are really nasty stuff, but it doesn't seem like they'd pose all that much of a risk, especially when you can take so many other flamable substances onboard.


Then again, haven't I learned my lesson? Don't try and makes sense in what can and can't be taken along on a flight. sigh.
