[Milsurplus] Kinda OT: Old Aircraft Instruments

[Peter Gottlieb]

I have sent and received these in the past without issue.  That was domestic via 
UPS.

I wouldn't try shipping internationally, there is a much higher chance of 
trouble as many customs facilities now have radiation detectors installed.

Also, more and more domestic shipping hubs have detectors as well these days, 
although I suspect it would be more of a "you shouldn't ship that stuff" than 
getting into any real trouble.

However, bad things can happen.  Google "hangar full of radioactive instruments" 
if you want to get truly paranoid.
