Take it from someone who has was a hazardous materials instructor for a major cargo airline for 15 years and a qualified aircraft loadmaster in the Air Force for 30 years, you do not want to knowingly ship a hazardous material with out the proper shipping papers, in the proper container and marked and labeled as per title 49 of the code of federal regulations. To do so will subject you to a heavy fine and jail time. The feds have been clamping down on these violations for the last few years and will catch you. If the item should leak and cause an injury or damage an aircraft or truck then the fines and jail time go up. I could post numerous cases where this has happened. Whe I use to teach pilot classes, I would always tell them not to worry about the packages that are marked as hazardous material because those shippers have been trained and are doing it right. The packages that are not marked are the ones to worry about because you have no idea what's in them. You put the entire shipping industry at risk when you do not properly ship hazardous materials. Lives have been lost because of people either not knowing or knowing and not careing about properly shipping hazardous materials.

Sorry for the lecture but this is a serious problem in the transportation industry and you don't want to be part of it.
