Really stupid question...

I give them authorization to inspect my luggage...ok they open it, look in it, check the contents....etc.

I DON'T EVER REMEMBER GIVING THEM AUTHORIZATION TO USE MY LUGGAGE FOR A TRAINING EXERCISE! TELL THEM TO USE THEIR OWN LUGGAGE!

I think a lawsuit might be a good course of action for tampering with my luggage.

Wasn't France also the place that found a bottle containing traces sarin? Then claimed it was okay because the bottle was empty and only had traces of the deadly poison. I feel better now they are trying to find it.

BTW they lost 5oz of explosives. How much did the shoe bomber have in his shoes?

... Was undetectable by dogs and airport security devices

Yeah, so let's use it as a training exercise, since we know it is undetectable by dogs & airport security devices. I assume then, that standard operating procedure is to investigate, by hand, every item in a piece of luggage so that something like a 5 oz chocolate bar can't be permitted to pass. Sure, that's the ticket.

"..."no more dangerous than a bar of chocolate"."

Heh. That's comforting, isn't it. I have a feeling this is more widespread than just one incident.

It wasn't lost. It was surrendered.

Oho! This story suddenly makes another FR thread from a couple of days ago a little clearer.

"Police insist the package of explosives is no more harmful than a chocolate bar - it has no detonator and does not react to movement, shock or even fire."

But, unlike the aforementioned chocolate bar, the package could be deadly when activated by the aforementioned detonator.

As Inspector Clouseau once said, "Swine detonator!!"
