Aerosols in the hold?

Is it safe to pack aerosols in my suitcase? I don't want them to explode or anything, i'm confused about the restrictions on liquids, and don't fancy getting stuff taken out of my hand luggage!

    Regardless of public perception the hold area, ie where they put your luggage, is pressurised so nothing will explode, consider if you took an animal abroad they put them in the hold and you dont hear about exploding dogs do you?

    Definitely don't put them in your hand luggage!

    My son put a can of deodorant in their rucksack when we went on holiday without my knowledge. Went through security and the man said he would have to search the bag as there was something suspicious in it. Wondered what on earth was going on, then could have killed my son when the man pulled the deodorant out! He had to confiscate that and told off my son so he didn't do it again :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Should only be confiscated if its over 100ml, the same as other liquids.

    Took a small one (75ml) through in the clear plastic back with other liquids etc under 100ml, no problem.
