IIRC Nitric acid is one residue of glow fuel, after it has been run through an engine...and I think Formaldehyde is a by product of the Methanol?
I wonder if a Glow ("Nitro") engine that has never been run would set off any warning alarms?
Thanks proptop, that explanation does make sense...! So we must now clean our engines and wrap them carefully in plastic bags to avoid the "sniffer" detecting them.
