>The asbestos lobby is really getting creative here.

You could get pulled over with a brick of asbestos in your trunk in all 50 states and not have problems. And this was true 20yr ago as well. The regulations around asbestos are/were primarily restrict commercial manufacture, processing and interacting with it so I suppose they could contrive to get you for "processing" if you consumed it.

Aren’t there laws regarding the transport of hazardous materials?

A whole brick of asbestos? Buddy, we've got you for intention to sell. Why don't you step out of the vehicle.
