No doubt because only a terrorist would want to ship something
in dry ice...

By the way, the people at airribs.com use gel packs and two-day

[1]  The restaurant behind that, The County Line, is local to
      where I live.  Their barbecue isn't exactly my favorite,
      although it's not bad, but they do seem pretty professional
      and seems to do a good job with stuff generally.
