--- Quote from: vk6zgo on December 03, 2021, 03:15:38 am ---Back in the day, I, and others, used to fly round the State fixing TV & Radio Broadcast faults. As part of this function, we would send on the same plane, a bunch of aluminium road cases full of gear, including often, CRC cleaning fluid & RP7 lube, in "spraycans". These days, they would probably be a "no-no!" Our "Big Boss" was the "Broadcast Operations Manager" (BOM), &, as "internal politics" were always a thing, we were often to be found chatting animatedly, referring a lot to "the BOM"! I think that might cause a stir these days!! ;D --- End quote --- The Hasselblad bomber :-DD https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/travel-troubles/126650610/us-plane-evacuation-was-because-someone-mistook-a-camera-for-a-bomb |

Of course he evaded security with a bomb he was so good but then was so stupid he needed instructions to twiddle a timer dial in full view of everyone :-DD |

The guy involved should have sued everyone involved in his ordeal, maybe a few multi-million dollar judgements against overreacting fools would make people think twice before rushing to judgement. It it looks anything like a bomb in a movie or TV show, it probably isn't a bomb. Held for hours? It shouldn't have taken more than 5 minutes to determine the device was harmless and send him on his way. |

The fact that the other fellow was African American, & my son is neither, should perhaps have ignited a flicker of doubt! |
