It is also not "good" for cartridges if held in place a long time because they get verdigris. Anyway, I mention it because there was a time quite some years ago that I had it with me in a briefcase going through an airport - totally forgot I had it until I literally saw it on the x-ray screen. I nearly choked. Thankfully, the screener ignored it. I have no idea why.
I accidentally tried to go through security with one of my speed strips in the pocket of a pair of cargo shorts in my luggage.
They confiscated the rounds, but let me keep the strip.
