....  The government is getting into stuff it has no business/reason to
get into.  Now they want to classify model rocket engines as explosives.
Talk about fear mongering....  Anyways, here is the link to the article
at Tower Hobbies and an excerpt.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently advised that they
propose to terminate a special permit under which model rocket motors
and igniters have been shipped for the last 33 years. If the permit is
terminated model rocket motors and igniters will no longer be able to be
shipped as "Flammable Solids" and will instead have to be shipped as
"Explosives."

 

I've already dispatched my email to the Special Administrator.
