Ahem... Yes.

Every Boeing and MD large body I have worked on carries one in the cockpit.

Also a cute little plastic flare pistol too, but hey, government regulation doesn't have to make sense.
I love Spagsorb, it is made from a type of moss that when applied to petroleum spills, soaks it up and breaks it down into fertilizer. Spagsorb is great for oil spills out in the wild, dump it on the spill and forget about it. On the other hand if you use it to clean up an oil spill inside a hangar it becomes hazardous waste. Why?

Yep and they have been since 1992. Bush & Co need to find out where the leftovers are hiding and get rid of them.
