Regarding the posting about an airline allowing only new-in-the-box fuel bottles - wow, that seems harsh!
The TSA website
http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlibrary/Permitted_Prohibited_12_18_2003.pdf
mentions only "fuels (including cooking fuels and any flammable liquid fuel)". It does NOT mention containers intended for fuel - if they are clean, dry, odor-free, then there is no fuel, so how can there be an objection?
An FAA site http://asi.faa.gov/these.asp
prohibits "camping equipment with fuel", so camping equipment WITHOUT fuel should be okay, yes?
Where do these people get their justification for only new-in-the-box stuff?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll ship my stoves & bottles via UPS, but it would seem that some bureaucrats are exceeding their authority.
