Finally catching up to America where they idiot security personnel forget their side arm in a airport a bathroom.
Actually, 230 grams equals 8.11 ounces, not 8 pounds, or whatever is being weighed. So, a tad over 1/2 pound of high explosive. Quite a bit of power nevertheless.
“I don’t know a thing about bomb training, but practicing with real explosives in a real airport?”
With some of the stuff I eat, I’m probably more of a threat than that stuff. Maybe I shouldn’t leave it sit outside the refrigerator so long.
Yep, and as I pointed out, you only need trace elements of a chemical to train bomb sniffing dogs, especially in an airport. Eight pounds could be tested away from civilians. This doesn’t make sense to me. And I have trouble believing that you have drunken nitwits who ‘happen to forget’ eight pounds of C4 in an airport — unless one of the trainers is named ‘Allah Nutbar’.
People have been praying for your country these past few days, FRiend. God bless you and all freedom loving, rough-and-tumble Aussies.

230 grams = 8.11 ounces.
However, I agree, testing with this material should have been done elsewhere, not at an airport. And leaving the suitcase behind containing the material where it ended up given to a passenger, is really more than stupid. So stupid that it’s not unreasonable to be suspicious.
