In the years 1990-91, my family and I lived near London. In my English home preparing for a visit back to the USA, I was backing my duffel when I noticed a container in a side pocket. Turned out to be a 5-pack of 12-ga buckshot. That pack had been in the duffel for several years. There is no telling how many times that bag with the buckshot had made transatlantic flights without ever being a problem.

Late that evening I drove over the Thames and threw the package out the window into the river.

Times have changed.
