Specializations of indecomposable polynomials

We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain indecomposable. We also obtain a Hilbert like result for indecomposability: if $f(t_1,...,t_r,x)$ is an indecomposable polynomial in several variables with coefficients in a field of characteristic $p=0$ or $p>°(f)$, then the one variable specialized polynomial $f(t_1^\ast+α_1^\ast x,...,t_r^\ast+α_r^\ast x,x)$ is indecomposable for all $(t_1^\ast, ..., t_r^\ast, α_1^\ast, ...,α_r^\ast)\in \bar k^{2r}$ off a proper Zariski closed subset.
