Obviously you have no idea how Halon works.

Quote:
halons decompose to release halogen atoms that combine readily with active hydrogen atoms, quenching flame propagation reaction even when adequate fuel, oxygen, and heat remains. The chemical reaction in a flame proceeds as a free radical chain reaction; by sequestering the radicals which propagate the reaction, halons are able to "poison" the fire at much lower concentrations than are required by fire suppressants using the more traditional methods of cooling, oxygen deprivation, or fuel dilution.

just recalling... we also looked at hiring some other animal service that would drive our dog cross country. (please giggle at your leisure ) I forget the name of the service but they actual hired two drivers to drive your pet so they didn't have to stop except for food, walking, etc. In the end we decided it would be less traumatic to fly him. Our move was a little different in that it was completely cross country -- even then we contemplated the drive but just didn't have the time b4 school and new job started.
