I'm no lawyer, but I could imagine it being construed as interfering with emergency services if you wound up in a situation where first responders might take it seriously.

Where you would run into trouble is if you ever need a first response to your car and the ambulance shows up and the barely educated tech freaks out and requests the fire departments paramedic instead. I think that runs a little pricier and obviously has implications on response time in case you've like had a heart attack on the road.

M_Gargantua posted:Whats a good example of what that sign would be posted for? And what would it actually do to you A combination of combustion, toxicity and explosivity. You could be lit on fire, exposed to something that would like to react with the delicate mechanisims that operate your biology, and finally exposed to a rapidly expanding gas cloud and anything it picked up between you and the source of the explosion.

And what would it actually do to you tert-butyllithium and pentaborane are the only two compounds that I can find that fit 4-4-4, but even then they aren't oxidizers. Both of those are acutely poisonous compounds that burst into flames when exposed to a wide variety of different substances, such as water or air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9VNaUY-ri4

Storage containers must combine NFPA ratings of all the materials inside. You can totally mix and match your death tanks.

How would you test the toxicity? Experiment 1: Added ClF3 to mouse food. Result: Food caught fire. Experiment 2 Added ClF3 to mouse's water. Result: Water caught fire. Experiment 3: Administered ClF3 to mouse intravenously. Result: Mouse caught fire.

I should have also mentioned, it was used in auxilliary rocket booster on Mirage IIIc, before being replaced by kerosene, except Kerosene is not hypergolic with nitric acid, so small amounts were still used as a starter.

Always use premium hypergolic fuel to prevent premature detonation. The problem of premature detonation is particularly severe at low altitude.
