    omg, let me get this straight. they lost 'explosives' during their own tests, it went missing. This was done by, completely by their own security team, in thier own airport. all done by thier own personel?

    The explosives don't have a detonator and won't react to shock or fire according to the article, but that's still pretty fucking fail.

    Hope they're ready to take a huge lawsuit when someone gets thrown in jail for trying to smuggle explosives through customs.

    Hm, I saw something similar two days or so ago, but then it was an eastern bloc country. Romania or something.

    This is past 'old', and onto 'olde'. Maybe even 'ye olde'.

    But still, it was no more harmful than a bar of chocolate. Someone just ended up with some free explosives, and maybe made a little profit. Or made stump clearing in their yard a little easier.

    Being French, I guess they figured they had nothing to lose. I mean, nobody likes them anyway.
