Model Forum / General / Rockets / February 2005

Because of the recent discovery of ammonium perchlorate in breast milk,
breast milk now falls under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms.

In an attempt to address the legitimate needs of nursing mothers while
still appropriately protecting against the acquisition of explosive
materials by terrorists and other criminals who might misuse them, ATF
has maintained a longstanding exemption for feeding bottles containing
up to 62.5 grams of explosive fluid. This exemption applies to the vast
majority of feeding bottles used by parents. ATF has never required a
permit of any kind to acquire or possess a feeding bottle containing up
to 62.5 grams of APCP, and this will not change under the expanded
explosives controls that have been set forth in the Safe Explosives Act
of 2002.

Nursing mothers will need to obtain a Low Explosive Use Permit (LEUP)
from ATF prior to lactation.  Since the storage magazine (in this case
the breasts) will be located within the residence, total amount of milk
shall be limited to not more than 11 kg (25 lbs.)  The indoor magazine
(breasts) shall be painted red and the top shall bear the following
words in white letters at least 76mm (3 in) high: EXPLOSIVES - KEEP
FIRE AWAY.  (An appropriate foundation garment may be utilized for this
purpose.)  The indoor magazine (breasts) shall be stored at least 7.6 m
(25 ft) from smoking, open flames and other sources of heat.

Now I know where those "double-D" motors came from that I occassionally hear
about; "Yep, I shot rockets when I was younger. Used to be able to get those
double-D's, they still make those?".   Never heard of a cup bigger than D
though. Which leads me to believe that breasts are actually based on black
powder, not APCP.
