Brains certainly do seem to be lacking with some of the TSA decisions re 'dangerous' goods. I used to work for BP Chemicals Advanced Materials in Kent, WA. One of the products we produced were the launch tubes for the TOW missile. It was, simply, a machined fiberglass tube. There was certainly nothing 'dangerous' about it, except that you might be able to hit someone over the head with it. It was just a fancy plastic pipe. And this type of thing was confiscated from checked baggage.....?
