BBC News - Cargo sparks security alert at international airports

It was reported to be an ink toner cartridge that had been tampered with. Sources told the BBC it was not a "bomb" but was "potentially sinister".

I'm just up the road from East Mids Airport, you would not have known anything was going off, apart from 2 roads shut at the south end of the airport, and a cordern on the UPS sorting shed, and one of the Royal Mail buildings.

Anyways.... confirmed. It was just HP reporting the ink cartridge so they could prevent "ink refills" :biggrin1:

I'm finding it very interesting that the media isn't all over this.

 

[bicuriousbc]

maybe they are trying not to sensationalize it
CNN always seems to do that well.
remember balloon boy...

 

[bicuriousbc]
