A recent post stated that it is a violation of DOT regs to carry
small, exempt "check type" sources in personal cars or passenger
airplanes. An NRC HP Position Statement (HPPOS-241 which can be
accessed at ftp://ftp.fedworld.gov/pub/nrc-hpos/hppos241.txt) states
in part: "...DOT regulations allow the practice of carrying small
check or calibration sources or other small quantities of radioactive
materials onto passenger carrying aircraft." Also: "Limited quantities
of radioactive materials or exempted instruments or articles may be
transported in carry-on or checked baggage on a passenger aircraft."
