it was a point in time. I have no problem with casks on secured trains. I've even watched the crash-test videos for amusement like everyone else.

I'm talking about ancient history where they put two guys on a train with a box.

This 'its the company don't ask questions' airline is much more what I would have expected, back in the day. I would have expected they detailed off a truck and some troops to do the drive. But no: they gave a suitcase to somebody and sent it on the red-eye.
