Bottles Test Positive For Explosives

Are you terrified yet?

Notice how she hasn't been arrested? It's because these machines aren't definitive in their ability to determine if a chemical is an explosive or not.

Now I'll admit, this could finally be a real plot to blow up a plane, but I doubt it. It's more likely I think to be some sort of lotion that has a trace chemical signature that the sensor picked up as a 'hit'.

This sort of event probably happens fairly frequently, but now we have to hype each one, in order to terrorize us properly.

CEREDO, West Virginia (AP) -- A West Virginia airport terminal was evacuated Thursday after two bottles of liquid found in a woman's carry-on luggage twice tested positive for explosives, a Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman said.

"The bomb squad is on site and the woman is being interviewed by the FBI," Amy von Walter said.

A machine security checkpoint screeners use to test for explosives registered positive, and a canine team also got a positive hit, von Walter said.
