TSA took away my Star San

[TheMadKing]

pfft! the average person on my team has endured more than 20 commercial flight segments before the end of Feb on any given year. 20 flights gets you zero creds from flying road warriors, though it might get you admiration from one of the DYKWIA gate lice

Hey to be fair a lot of mine are international. Travel to sub-saharan Africa is no picnic!

On a plane, is it safe to transport ... Snakes?

How 'bout sharks?

I was detained and interrogated seven hours by TSA thanks to Aunt Edna's peach cobbler. I tried to explain to them it would be a good structural adhesive in case someone tried to bring StarSan on the plane......

Judging by the grand canyon, water is pretty dang corrosive

FWIW I ship hazmat for a living and know very well the relative dangers of materials. On the level of dangerous materials routinely transported on airplanes, Star San doesn't rate. It's all relative and based on your perspective. Should it be in your suitcase? No, I never disagreed that that was a bad idea. Should this be a major safety concern? No, absolutely not.

Cheers bud, I hope you lighten up some day

If you ship hazmat for a living you should know that the problem lies in the fact that the starsan is considered a hazardous material and was not properly identified. The other dangerous goods that you refer to being on planes are properly packaged, labeled and stored accordingly. A suitcase is not proper packaging for a corrosive item that is identified as such by the manufacturer's sds sheet.

TSA took my Star San away reminds me of the KKK took my baby away.

Damn you're right... what was I thinking, I shouldn't have defended his use of a suitcase as proper packaging! Or... maybe that's why I agreed that the suitcase was a bad idea in the text you quoted.

Every opinion expressed on the internet does not need to be the most conservative opinion possible either. Star San in your luggage will not cause a plane to disintegrate in mid-air as some of these hysterical opinions have implied.

What if I told you that I routinely carry full glass carboys, I brew in open toed shoes sometimes, I have used propane in my garage during the winter with the door only slightly open, and one time, I actually moved a kettle of boiling wort with a friend! I'm basically the safety devil and should probably be stoned for my insolence.

Life's too short to wear both a belt and suspenders.

I found this to be the most helpful post on this thread.

Next time I'm in Texas, this is where I go.
