He told me that one would not really want to know where and how the research folks obtained the human body parts they used in their work.

I took part in the UN discussions which created the distinction between Category A and Category B Infectious Substances, and the intent of Category B is quite different than human organs or specimens (HIV, hepatitis, etc. all qualify as Category B). <br /><br />If you look in the ICAO Technical Instructions (Part 2, Classification), Chapter 6 (Infectious Substances), there are exceptions for certain items. I believe human heads would fall under the following:<br /><br />6.3.2.3.6 Patient specimens for which there is minimal likelihood that pathogens are present are not subject to these Instructions if the specimen is transported in a packaging which will prevent any leakage and which is marked with the words “Exempt human specimen” or “Exempt animal specimen”, as appropriate.<br /><br />There are some additional packaging requirements, but the requirements for UN 3373 do not apply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-75571402057523176992010-06-22T03:34:13.287+00:002010-06-22T03:34:13.287+00:00I've heard of pilots deadheading ...

Along with so many other aspects of shipping hazardous materials. I once gave a course in Hazmat and the stories from industry "incidents" would curl your toenails. Like the guy who shipped his explosives in the regular baggage hold of an airliner, but then chartered a learjet for himself!
