Transporting a fridge compressor as hold luggage

[shanwick]

As someone employed in the industry, I do a lot more flying than sailing.

Those cosmetics and water bottles were confiscated from the hand luggage of folks passing through security.

The much lower levels of screening for Hold Luggage won't ever find a small compressed canister.

Shanwick. If indeed you do work in aviation you should hang your head in shame at making such irresponsible and unprofessional suggestions.

Even the dimmest intellect must realize that dangerous goods regulations are there to prevent injury or death in what is one of the most unforgiving environments that mankind operates in.

The excellent safety record of aviation is a direct result of decades of vast expertise, diligent research and bitter experience.
It may be your opinion that you "know better", but be kind enough to keep that bloated conceit to yourself lest by your irresponsibility and foolishness others are tempted to follow your dangerous advice and hazard lives by the hundred.

If I was your employer I'd be very tempted to put you on a "No Employ" list.

Shanwick, before opening mouth, engage brain if you have one. If not, best leave mouth shut.

I tried to have a fridge and freezer sent to me by road transport to Sain. No way they wouldnt even transport it by truck!! Due to compressed gases!! How they deliver them I dont know?? Anyway, compressed gas on an aircraft is a no-no, they woint even transport diving cylinders, empty, with the valve open!

Oh yes they will. Mine were in my suitcase no problem. Two tanks. B>A>

They now do random xray on hold luggage

For someone pretty new around here you got right into the spirit of things pretty sharp.

Another self appointed, holier than thou twit for my ignore list!

I refer the learned gentleman to my reply a few posts up, thanks.

Nimbus, thank you for your intelligent, considered and mature contribution. If you think objecting to incitement to hazard the lives of hundreds makes one a "holier than thou twit" I can only say I pity you. If you too consider yourself above the laws and norms that make up decent, law abiding society then do us a favour and move to Zimbabwe or Somalia, please?

Merely stating fact MASH.

A small fridge compressor going "pop" inside a suitcase will never endanger the lives of hundreds and if the item were declared to the airline, the DGR's would allow it's carriage in the hold of a passenger aircraft albeit with an expensive document attached.
