Flying with Empty Camping Fuel Containers

I have only flown twice with a stove and a fuel bottle since 11 Sep 01. Both times, I filled the Svea and the bottle with vinegar and placed a note around the stove with a rubber band stating "THIS STOVE IS FILLED WITH VINEGAR," with a similar note wrapped around the 0.3 liter Sigg fuel bottle. I then put the stove in a pot, wrapped in a plastic bag, and put it near the top of the pack with the fuel bottle nearby, with a note stating: "THE STOVE IS FILLED WITH VINEGAR" and I also include a hard copy of the Empty Packages FAA notice that is attached, with section 2, part iii highlighted. And I carry another copy of this notice on my person so I can show it to whoever might make a fuss.
