[meteorite-list] tips on transporting meteorites.

[ensoramanda]

Hi everyone,

We have now booked our flights to go to the Tucson show..so will be 
definately there.

So now for a question to all you well travelled hunters and dealers.....

Now supposing I buy up several amazing specimens at the show :-) ...does 
anyone have any tips about transporting them back to the UK.

Would it be best to ship them....or it seems more sensible to bring them 
back on the plane...but what are the snags of carrying meteorites in 
luggage across the atlantic or within the USA...eg in stowed or hand 
luggage?

What are the regulations?

Any tips most welcome....and thanks already to all those who have helped 
me so far with planning my visit.
