So you don’t care about the lives of the UPS crew? Got it. UPS operates passenger flights also.

So you donât care about the lives of the UPS crew? Got it. UPS operates passenger flights also.How will putting this guy in prison make the crews any safer if UPS keeps putting packages on their airplanes that were clearly marked for ground delivery?

Get a not guilty. Change the wording a bit, try again and get not guilty. Move or add a comma to the charge and try again ad infinitum or until you get a compliant jury.

This case caused a hugh and series ripple in the HAZMAT community. Raised awareness and caused companies to reevaluate their shipping methods. We even had a meeting with UPS and we don’t ship anything nearly as hazardous as sodium. This guy probably would of gotten off easier if they didn’t have the improper storage charge. He was acquitted on some charges by a jury.

It appears to me he was just adding some facts that many of us did not know. We have many experts or just people with unusual experience among us who give a lot of background on subjects that come up. It s one of the great things about FR.

I understand that one from a local case recently which I am not at liberty to describe. He abandoned it when he relinquished possession. That is a hugely inclusive concept, a catch-all as it were.

UPS operates passenger flights also.I checked on that, and it appears FAA regulations prohibit passengers (except for flight crew) on cargo flights. If they operate passenger flights, then they must be exclusively passenger flights, not combined passenger / courier flights.
To quote Ben Franklin "Half the truth is often a great lie."

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is caught red-handed committing perjury and is let off scot-free cause “it was just about sex”.

I’ve shipped 800 lb engines with UPS ground, without even blinking. UPS ground has shipping services that are competitive with other trucking companies.

My question is why didn’t they go after UPS? The guy clearly marked ground but they ignored his request and shipped it per air anyway, knowing probably what was in it.

But an 800 lb engine seems a far cry from 22,000 lbs of sodium in terms of shipping logistics, so I'd have to question whether that's really an apples:apples example.

It sure does, and the 4
thparagraph in the article proves it.
Krister's story is no far-fetched exception to some arcane law. Thousands of law-abiding citizens have been convicted under the more than 300,000 federal provisions, most of them administrative -- in other words not passed by Congress -- that carry a criminal penalty.

Meanwhile, odingdong pardons drug dealers and seeks to empty Guantanamo of terrorists.
It’s a topsy-turvy world.
Go figure.

It's an extremely dangerous metal.While true; dihydrogen monoxide has killed a LOT more people.
Airlines make note of this fact and search all passengers for any of it trying to be smuggled aboard planes!
