Because of the extent to which security issues have become part of our
aviation life and this newsgroup, I thought some of you might like to read
this story about the recent bomb scare at quiet Queecy Lake, New York.

That is a bit like the one in the papers over this side of the Atlantic
today. A British family travelled to France and landed at Toulouse. They
went on to their destination and realised that they had lost one of
their bags - a rucksack.

Meanwhile back at the airport the bag was spotted and investigated. It
appeared to contain what seemed like it might be Semtex. This brought
in anti-terrorist police and caused the evacuation of the terminal
building. The bomb squad arrived and all flights were grounded. So the
bag was destroyed in a controlled explosion after evacuating the
terminal. The father in the family was not best pleased to hear that his
camera and binoculars had also been destroyed.

Cause of the problem? The wife had impulsively packed some frozen puff
pastry to use on their holiday as she did no believe she could find a
good equivalent in French Supermarkets - the family dinner that night
was to be chicken pie.
