Most countries and U.S. states have very strict regulations regarding the handling, storage and transportation of bio-hazardous materials. You could find your cameras quarantined on your next vacation <g>. The same concern is even greater for the suggestion (as someone else made) that you label your equipment as radioactive. It sounds like a very quick way to have yourself officially separated from your gear.

He didn't think it was a problem, but said that if I wanted ironclad protection against this, I could include a small urine sample in my camera case. He also said that the key to not being liable in this instance is to seal the case. >
