Bag labelled 'bomb' got past security checks

[NM]

From news.com.au:

A LARGE bag with "BOMB" written across it passed through Qantas check-in and security screening for oversized luggage at Brisbane domestic airport yesterday, the Transport Workers Union said.

Baggage handlers preparing to transfer the bag raised the alarm and stopped work for about 40 minutes as security staff and managers attempted to remove it.

What sort of a numskull would consider that even remotely funny if it was infact intended as a joke...perhaps it was Bin Laden supporter doing a test run to see whether it would get through.

Yes, I'm sure all crooks write the word on the device. Just like all bank robbers carry a bag with $ signs all over it..
