Man's BLT Sandwich Sets Off Airport Bomb Detector
One German man was attempting to get through security for a flight when his suitcase set off the bomb detector alarm. He was a bit nervous as his wife had packed his lunch and apparently they'd had a bit of a spat before he left, so he wasn't sure just what was actually in the lunch bag. As it turns out, it was just a bacon sandwich, and bacon apparently has the same density as common explosives, setting off the alarm and causing all sorts of commotion.
So, while bacon may be the ultimate sandwich topping, it's not a particularly good travel companion -- not just because of what it does to your arteries. [From: Boing Boing Gadgets]

The offending article was confiscated for purposes of national security. And it was delicious... ; )

The problem with putting things like this in the news it gives every maniac , with a grudge against the world the oppertunity to mess with the man . And the only consequence is to take a later flight.As a frequent traviler i find this rather disturbing.

JUST THINK ABOUT HOW "DISTURBED" YOU'D BE IF THE "BOMB-SNIFFING DOG" HAD ALREADY EATEN HIS LUNCH... AND THAT LUNCH HAD CONSISTED OF A "BLT". CHANCES ARE HE MIGHT NOT HAVE PAID ANY ATTENTION TO "AN ACTUAL BOMB"... ASSUMING THAT HE HADN'T BRUSHED HIS TEETH AFTER EATING, OF COURSE.

Oh, I thought it was because the detectors picked up the smoked aroma.....

I had the same experioence with a delicious cheese in Spain. I had to unpack and the inspector laughed when he saw the cheese. He said it looked like plastique explosive on his screen.

Reminds me of the scene in "Top Secret". The East German guard dog start barking at a man's package, and they tear it open, out drops some sausages and steaks. The police grab the man. Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer) asks the security guard, "Where are they taking him?" The security guard says, "Their not taking him anywhere." Then you hear in the background a firing squad, shooting.

Bacon has the same density as explosives? What? I know it causes explosives in my husband sometimes, but a totally different kind. And the picture up there looks like the best BLT ever. Now I want one!
