Another tip: be careful what you say abont the sample composition. One
person I know got stuck like this because someone at the airline insisted
on checking each element of organometallic crystals that were being taken
to a neutron source. The airline's response went something like this:
"... but it contains hydrogen: it might explode, and it contains
phosphorus so it might spontaneously combust, and it contains ...."
I'm sure you get the idea.
