I keep wondering how much of a safety issue is it to take bear spray and other compressed gasses such as stove cartridges in our airplanes.
It seems to me the pressure difference between 0 and 14,000 feet would be negligible compared to the pressure in a compressed gas cylinder, making the likelihood of a rupture very low.
On the other hand if a can of bear spray ever were to blow or go off inside the plane, that would pretty much the end of things.
I was paranoid enough about this that when I returned from a trip to the Tietons I left a $50 can of bear spray back at the hotel. On the other hand I've carted these Bluet camp stove cartridges all over the place.
I suppose an ammo box might be one answer... thoughts? Is anyone else airplane camping worrying about this?
