Show them the letter you previously obtained from an executive of that 
airline that carrying fish in luggage is OK. :-) [Wonder if they can 
even detect a forgery? :-)]

The luggage examiners usually don't give a damn about fish, for they 
work for TSA and not the airlines, anyway. They want your tweezers, 
eyelash curlers and fingernail clippers. [If you don't think they are 
real bureaucrats, just try joking in their presence.]

Our FedEx offices (and most around the country) absolutely will not 
accept live shipments from walk-ins. You need to be a company that has 
qualified per their strict (fish-killing) packaging regulations, most 
places. Brackish water, leaking into expensive computer boards seems to 
make them go non-linear, for some strange reason.
