         Actually many public shipping companies were refusing to accept 
compressed gas cylinders of any kind before 9-11, and some of those who did 
started charging  an extra "hazard fee".  9-11 just magnified that situation.
         It's a matter of perceived threat more than proven threat 
anymore.  For exmaple some companies will not ship rare earth magnets by 
air anymore, even tiny little ones.
