[meteorite-list] Meteorites in your Carry-On Luggage

[Dennis Miller]

In mine, the TSA in Cairo considered my samples as "Hazardous Projectiles"
and would not allow them as carry-on.  Had to check them. That was in 
September. Got home with them O.K.  Just fossels, got stopped for my
meteorite search in Sudan.
