    Firebird took awhile to get back to me- and stated they are not "approved" to ship their targets outside of the UK at this point.

    I suspect this means they really don't know how to ship things- a carrier able to handle "hazardous materials"- assuming these would be classified as such- is common (i.e. all the "big name" couriers can do it- Fedex, UPS, DHL, etc.) so who knows if something will ever come out of them.
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...

    That's probably it.....IATA is universal, anyone certified could ship a can of gasoline from here to China, as long as they pack it right.

    I just think "The Britons" don't want to ship to a former colony, lest we rise up, and revolt against the crown.

    Maybe they could label the shipment as crumpets, okay maybe exploding crumpets
    I guess we'll have to find a way to fabricate our own from locally available stuff.
    But we can't discuss that project here publicly. That would be highly illegal.

    I don't think such a thing would be illegal- ? Even if you designed such a thing and used highly-controlled/regulated black powder- as long as you have the appropriate licensing to purchase/use the black powder- what make is illegal? About the only thing I can think of would be if it were a "bomb" of sorts that could cause damage beyond small burning of the area around which it sits when set off. Mind-you, I might be out-to-lunch on this as I'm not up-to-date on anything "explosive" legally-speaking.
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
