I believe the reference to a "Bakersfield, TX" flight being diverted to El Paso is in error...should be CA, IMO, but this is the way the original article reads.

Well, there IS a lot of mining in Argentina. If all they found was traces, the kid's probably telling the truth. I got sniffed at the airport after flying the day after fertilizing my lawn. It seems my shoes still had residue on them.

Fortunately, once I explained, they stopped worrying.

These could be every day occurances on airlines which are being looked at more closely after the England plot. That or creative dry runs which may lead to something big.

I understand alerting on the residue, I understand searching the luggage, I even understand asking the passenger about his baggage, I DO NOT understand why when no explosives were found he was not on the plane completing his journey, can someone educate me?
