unless, upon removal of such package, the area in the aircraft in which 

it was carried is visually inspected for evidence of leakage, spillage, 

or other contamination. All contamination discovered must be either 

isolated or removed from the aircraft. The operation of an aircraft 

contaminated with such Division 6.1 (poisonous) materials is considered
