UPS "BOMB" Undetected

Post by Thunderthighs »

According to the Media, a Turkish man posted a package in London on a cargo plane bound for Turkey.
It contained a "fake" bomb and wasn't detected by UPS, apparently. Police and the Govt are investigating any breaches of Security.

Maybe UPS stands for "Unexploded package! Sheeeeeeetttt !!!"

WTF is a 'fake bomb' :hmmmm was it a mobile in a box or a toner cartridge :roll: .............I once posted a remote control and it got through and that might have been a 'fake bomb'

Apparently it had all the makings of a Real bomb - timer, wires etc, but NO explosive.
That's all that was missing.

So, probably like a Replica Firearm, some of which are "adapted" by bad guys to fire real ammo.
