Fred to be more precise what the shipper shipped on ValuJet was Oxygen
generators. A canister that through a chemical reaction with a catalyst
creates oxygen, during this process the canisters get red hot and mixed with
the produced oxygen and someones luggage and sundries can be very bad.

Nigel, remember the Air Florida crash a few years ago, they just indicted
the
shipper of aersol cannisters for that disaster, sorry they are not allowed
to air
spray paint, but, this they should have informed you in advance. To answer
your
post, I have never had any problem with Rimmer Bros. orders.
