Got to be an inside job.

Seems it didn’t go off, or was just explosive material and didn’t have a trigger, from what I’ve read about it thus far.

Reports from Thiruvananthapuram said the Kingfisher flight from Bangalore arrived at 8.25 am and a Central Industrial Security Force official found the suspected explosive, the size of a cricket ball, wrapped in a Malayalam newspaper, city police commissioner M R Ajith Kumar said. “This was found in the cargo compartment and the official immediately took it up. It is a suspected explosive and investigations are on,” Mr Kumar told reporters.

“We are investigating how this happened. Certainly this is a security lapse. The suspected explosive is now in the possession of experts and investigations will reveal what exactly it is,” Mr Kumar added.

I wonder if he arrested himself too.

An airport ground handler who discovered a bomb in the baggage hold of a Kingfisher Airlines jet was arrested after it was discovered he actually planted the explosive device, reports Indian Express.

So there was never any danger, now all staff at Indian airport will receive tighter checks, thanks to one idiot with a grudge.
