Dampers - not really a problem. Cars travel all over the world in the holds and nobody takes the dampers off.
Ask away if you need, to but get who ever you are talking to to look at the IATA Dangerous Goods booklet rather than getting a 'job's worth' opinion. I fell foul of such a wanker when I checked in my Dinghy and Life Preserver when I went to Toronto for a ferry flight back to the UK. The Captain came down to the check in to sort it out and told that total tosser to get a life. There are more 'jobs worth' per 100 people in the airlines than any other type of business. If you get a decision from the IATA book, let us all know.
Anyway. lots of systems in the aeroplane uses compressed Nitrogen.
