Es miri com es miri, mala praxis per part d'investigadors reconeguts. No es poden transportar mostres biològiques inactivades en equipatge de mà, propi, en cabina d'avió. No es pot intentar no declarar-los. A banda que, tot i que inactivat (mètode validat? control de proces?), es tracta, en alguns casos, de patogens de #GP3, com #Mpox, aka #verolamico, i el principi de prevenció indicaria manipular-lo en les més segures condicions possibles.
