Back in 2000, I was in the airport in Berlin Germany awaiting my flight back to Atlanta, having been on a job for the German government for several weeks.

I’m walking around the airport, just killing time, it’s a huge circle shaped building, when I heard MY NAME called out on the public address system to report to room such and such.

I did as instructed and was met at the door by a uniformed policeman who had my toolkit on the desk.

He asked if that was my luggage and of course I replied yes.

He said that the baggage scanner had detected a flammable substance inside.

I immediately knew that it was a small bottle of alcohol that I use to clean electronic contacts and soldered joints and told him so.

I opened the locked toolkit and sure enough the properly labelled bottle had leaked, and he removed it and I was good to go...................

Truer than you think. A relative works at an airport & had to point out to those checking the bags that a certain individual kept leaving with an empty bag & returning with a full one. They finally checked the ‘full’ bag & found contraband. But he got away with it multiple times.
