www.timesonline.co.uk reports that a 37 year old Venezuelan national was arrested carrying a live grenade in his luggage when he arrived on a British Airways flight from Colombia. Gatwick is the world's 6th busiest international airport.

I agree! Most everyone in the world must know about the heighten state of alert in England and the US! Incredibly stupid!

If you fly out of Logan International in Boston, MA, you'd know how bad it is and that the grenade probably had a 15% chance of making it. RonnB, I saw your post on this first, so credit where creidt is due [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Meant to mention, any packed cash or jewelry or valuables also has about a 15% chance, the Logan security screeners are KNOWN to steal stuff - lots of it - when screening.

arion, the scary thing is they didn't find it until after he got off the plane.
