If they did have a means to chemically suppress bending, why in the world did they use methods of maximum containment for fire and water that have a way of getting humans close to death?
And why on earth didn't Zhao drug Aang with it instead of using those chains? If I had a chemical method to stop someone from bending even if they broke free, and I had a twelve-year-old bender-of-all-elements to contain, I'd be breaking out the chemical instead of relying on chains.
Twelve-year-old who can't bend on a ship full of trained soldiers twice or three times his age? No way he's getting off the boat.
