Some govt leaders would rather look stupid than spread panic. I don’t know a thing about bomb training, but practicing with real explosives in a real airport? I’d risk investing in desert swamp land before I believed that one at face value.
Even bomb sniffing dogs can be trained outside of airports, and only trace amounts are needed anyway — maybe not always? This is nuts. But I’m no expert.
The story is that they were training sniffer-dogs.

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.
