    Doesn’t make it illegal.

    Just, eh, “complicated”.

    Is it stupid to want that stuff in your home? Certainly not without lead condoms. Is it something I’m offended at the government wanting to scoop up? Certainly not.

    Did the guy deserve full on hazmat?

    Well, I’d probably have pulled out the full containment tent and taken a lot of selfies riffing off the E.T. Movies, but I’m a weirdo.

    They could have probably played it cool and that would have been better.

    The thing is that got through customs. It was probably declared by the company, since they already got paid and probably warn people to check “local import laws”.

    Out of curiosity and for strictly not-remotely-nefarious reasons, how expensive would a megagram be?

    I assume they just bought Ike, a centimeter cube of the stuff. (Which is a common thing for this kind of collector. Most solids come in centimeter cubes if they’re not particularly spicy.)

    pretty sure… there’s nothing illegal about buying plutonium for a elements collection. Pretty sure, also there’s a lab supply somewhere in australia that keeps the samples in stock.

    Also pretty the russians are having a pretty decent sale on polonium, if you’re looking for that.
