§ 832. Transportation of explosives, radioactive materials, etiologic agents, and other dangerous articles.

(a) Any person who knowingly transports, carries, or conveys within the United States, any dangerous explosives, such as and including, dynamite, blasting caps, detonating fuzes, black powder, gunpowder, or other like explosive, or any radioactive materials, or etiologic agents, on or in any passenger car or passenger vehicle of any description operated in the transportation of passengers by any for-hire carrier engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, by land, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and, if the death or bodily injury of any person results from a violation of this section, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both: Provided, however, That such explosives, radioactive materials, or etiologic agents may be transported on or in such car or vehicle whenever the Interstate Commerce Commission finds that an emergency requires an expedited movement, in which case such emergency movements shall be made subject to such regulations as the Commission may deem necessary or desirable in the public interest in each instance: Provided further, That under this section it shall be lawful to transport on or in any such car or vehicle, small quantities of explosives, radioactive materials, etiologic agents. or other dangerous commodities of the kinds, in such amounts, and under such conditions as may be determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission to involve no appreciable danger to persons or property: And provided further, That it shall be lawful to transport on or in any such car or vehicle such fusees, torpedoes, rockets, or other signal de

vices as may be essential to promote safety in the operation of any such car or vehicle on or in which transported. This section shall not prevent the transportation of military forces with their accompanying munitions of war on passenger-equipment cars or vehicles.

(b) No person shall knowingly transport, carry or convey within the United States liquid nitroglycerin, fulminate in bulk in dry condition, or other similarly dangerous explosives, or radioactive materials, or etiologic agents, on or in any car or vehicle of any description operated in the transportation of passengers or property by any carrier engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, by land, except under such rules and regulations as the Commission shall specifically prescribe with respect to the safe transportation of such commodities. The Commission shall from time to time determine and prescribe what explosives are "other similarly dangerous explosives", and may prescribe the route or routes over which such explosives, radioactive materials, or etiologic agents shall be transported. Any person who violates this provision, or any regulation prescribed hereunder by the Interstate Commerce Commission, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and, if the death or bodily injury of any person results from a violation of this section, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

Reviser's Note.-Based on title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed., §§ 382, 385, and 386 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §§ 232, 235, and 236, 35 Stat. 1134-1136; Mar. 4, 1921, ch. 172, 41 Stat. 1445; Oct. 9, 1940, ch. 77, § 6 (a), (c), 54 Stat. 1028). Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of "principal" in section 2 of this title.

Section consolidates last sentence of said section 385 with said section 386 of title 18, U. S. C., 1940 ed.

The punishment provision for the lesser offense, not involving death or bodily injury, was reduced from $2.000 fine or 18 months' imprisonment, or both, to $1,000 fine or 1-year imprisonment, or both, so as to render the punishment more in consonance with the offense defined and with other sections in this title which define comparable misdemeanors. The former provision for maximum imprisonment of 18 months, with the consequent requirement for prosecution by indictment and the stigma of commission of a felony upon conviction, appeared out of all proportion to the gravity of the offense. Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement. AMENDMENTS

1960-Pub. L. 86-710 substituted "explosives, radioactive materials, etiologic agents, and other dangerous articles" for "dynamite, powder, and fuses" in the catchline, redesignated existing provisions as subsec. (a), and therein added provisions permitting shipments of proInterstate Commerce Commission regulation, and carscribed items on passenger cars, in an emergency, under riage of such articles in small amounts under prescribed conditions, and of rockets and signal devices necessary to the safe operation of the vehicle, substituted "within the United States, any dangerous explosives" for "within the limits of jurisdiction of the United States, any high explosive", included radioactive materials, and etiologic agents, and extended application from common carriers to any for-hire carrier operating passenger cars or vehicles in the transportation of passengers by land, and deleted provisions which made it lawful to transport smokeless powder, primers, non-detonating fuses, fireworks, and samples for laboratory examination each not exceeding one-half pound in weight, nor exceeding twenty samples in a single vehicle, and added subsecs. (b) and (c).
