They are packed by the hundred in little boxes with their open ends all facing down against the box. If one goes, the flash is propagated to those around it..

Even given that, I have known fouled weapons to leave a slight dent in a primer and still not cause the round to fire. Rechambering the round in a clean weapon produced results.

So just how thin was the bag and just how hard did the baggage gorilla 'set it down'?

Short of driving over it, I don't see the primers going off.

Maybe, a nylon ripstop bag, dry air, static electricity, and the guy grounds the bag. People who work with lead styphnate do wear antistatic grounding bands for a reason.
