That was the BATFE who was told that rocket motors were not explosives by
the courts.
Not the DOT. /sarc off

>> Dear AeroTech Product Representative:
>>
>>
>> Urgent Notice - Your Immediate Action Is Needed, Send Your E-Mail By
>> October
>> 10, Help preserve your rights regarding model rocketry.
>>
>>
>> Dear AeroTech Customer,
>>
>>
>> Many people are concerned with new government regulations that seem
>> destined
>> to limit our freedoms as well as those that affect our hobbies. You may
>> have
>> heard of some recently that affect various hobbies.
>> New regulations are being considered regarding model rocket motors.
>> This may not immediately impact your access to model rocket materials but
>> it's just another step toward more restrictive regulations concerning our
>> hobby and deserves your attention.
>> The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently advised that they
>> propose to terminate a special permit under which model rocket motors and
>> igniters have been shipped for the last 33 years. If the permit is
>> terminated model rocket motors and igniters will no longer be able to be
>> shipped as "Flammable Solids" and will instead have to be shipped as
>> "Explosives."
>> In 33 years there have been no incidents involved in the shipping and
>> transporting of model rocket motors and igniters.
>> The model rocket industry needs your support in order to continue to make
>> our product available. Attached is a sample e-mail that we request you
>> send
>> immediately to express your support.
>> We believe that shipping model rocket motors and igniters as "Explosives"
>> would only cause unnecessary concern for hobby shops, educators, youth
>> group
>> leaders and families using model rockets for educational and recreational
>> purposes.
>> If you believe as we do, please send an e-mail to the Department of
>> Transportation no later than October 10, 2011. To assist you, here is a
>> sample e-mail:
>> --
>> TO: specialpermits@xxxxxxx<mailto:specialpermits@xxxxxxx>
>> Subject: DOT-SP 7887 Show Cause Response
>> Dear Associate Administrator,
>> The purpose of this e-mail is to request that DOT-SP 7887 be kept in
>> force
>> as written. The Special Permit, previously DOT-E 7887 has been in place
>> since 1978 and is used by many of us who enjoy hobbies including model
>> rockets, motors and igniters.
>> To my knowledge, there has never been an incident involving the shipping
>> and
>> transporting of model rocket motors and igniters. Further I believe that
>> shipping these products as "Explosives" will create unnecessary fear and
>> difficulty for those handling, transporting, receiving, storing, selling
>> and
>> using these products.
>> After 33 years of use, the termination of the Special Permit is
>> unwarranted
>> and possibly damaging to an educational and recreational product that has
>> an
>> excellent record. In closing, I again request the Special Permit be kept
>> in
>> place as written.
>> - Your Name and Address
>> --
>> Please take a few minutes to send your e-mail today!
>> Thank you very much for your support of model rocketry.
