Am I really supposed to believe that an extra $27.50 means the FedEx guy will show up sweaty and nervous like he's handling nitroglycerin? Or do they simply segregate those hazmat packages from everything else? Piling them all together in a designated area sure seems like a bad idea... If one blows it sets all the rest off The question is how do they know there are primers in the package unless they detonate during shipping/handling? Do they run the packages through a "sniffer" to detect possible hazardous materials? I'll never instruct anyone to violate federal law... Of course in a few weeks that may be up for discussion.

Those placarded loads are a royal pain. So I quit hauling them and didnt renew. Now before the government decided we should have a state issued federal license, there was no endorsement required and hazmat really did pay more. So you figure out the why and wherefore. I am not smart enough. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

However. loose primers are a different subject. Back in the late 70's my cousin literally blew his hand off when he picked up a mason jar half full of rifle primers.
