I wonder if they are from Canada.

Chemical Found in Passenger's Baggage (Jackson, Mississippi)
01/09/07
There was a scare at Jackson-Evers International Airport Tuesday when screeners found a chemical in some baggage. Emergency crews were called in to investigate. A passenger apparently needed the chemicals for his job and put them inside his checked baggage.
Officials say a passenger told them the substance was "water treatment chemicals." Sources tell us the chemicals were ammonia and bleach which becomes hydrochloric acid when combined.
Three Transportation Security Administration employees were taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure after complaining of breathing problems. No flights were affected and no charges are expected to be filed against the passenger.
