alt Hacker NewsO sweet times when it was imaginable to have a combustion engine weighing 32 kg in your check-in luggage.
I sincerely wonder if this wasn't hazmat back then?

My stepdad brought a chainsaw as carry-on luggage around the same time.

A mystery meat lithium ion battery pack from Amazon is probably more hazardous than this.

This would be fine by bus/boat/train ?
Pre-2001 was... different.
I was stopped by the metal detector at an airport. I didn't know why. Then the guy in the lane next to me said, "Oh, I'm wearing steel-toed boots."
I said, "Oh, I am too." (True)
Without any further questions or checking, they let us both through.
"That? It's just a giant, red, spherical Christmas ornament, with a string to hang it by, that happens to smell of gunpowder... and the monogram 'TNT' on the side."
