I had my toothpaste confiscated a couple of weeks ago. I doubt you
could
get away with bringing hanging drops on an airplane even before Nov
6th; I
got a huge hassle in London in 1995. The train will shake the
thing to
death.
Planes are not kinder to drops either. Especially hanging ones.
Take off and landing can often shift drops to the rims of the cover ...
Sitting (nano)drops should travel happily in a train though.
... but going out of Hamburg to a presumably stronger SR source,
I cant help to wonder why you don't simply freeze them ...
You're doomed (unless you have a Saudi passport). If it were me,
I would freeze them and transport them in a liquid nitrogen dewar.
Fed
Exp will do this, and often will be kind enough to ship it to
Kazakhstan
for no additional charge.
Especially if your samples are labeled clearly as 'nuclear export
machinery component'.

Dear ccp4bb members,
I am planning a trip for experiments and I would strongly prefer my
crystals
to travel with me in the original hanging drop trays where they
crystallized. Does anybody has any recent experience (after 6
November)
with
the new airplane regulations? Or should I use the train?
Thank you in advance
Nikos
