Must have been some of that real dangerous GUN wood they'd been told about in their pre-shift security briefing..

I went to ship a couple of boxes of ammo recently at UPS (which I've done many times over the years), but the clerk said NO!!,,because it might explode on the airplane. When I pointed out that the ammunition must go 'ground'; and be labled as such (small arms cartridges), she then decided it was a hazard to the UPS truck and driver because it would explode in the truck (watching way too many action movies I guess). A word with the supv. got it all back on track, but it really does make a difference who's behind the counter when you walk up sometimes...company policy aside.
