Saw something in the Indie this morning
Sorry - the out-law.com articles are just a guide. The actual legislation, I find rather hard to read! I agree that you have noted that the term "should" is different to "must", but I'm not sure that applies to the actual legislation. Meanwhile, I forgot to add to the list: Any data collected...- datestamp

Saw something in the Indie this morning

Oh dear - water explosive found
No. They are going to dehydrate all passengers before transit. Apparently, it is cheaper to carry people in powder form, because they are lighter. They will then be rehydrated into human form at the end of the flight, if they have behaved themselves. -
