"Screeners found a toy and some 'organic material'". What, someone stuff marijuana into the kid's stuffed animal? Hopefully TSA can tell the difference between pot and plastique.

"A toy car and a cookie prompted a bomb scare at San Diego airport on Tuesday when they were mistaken for possible bomb-making parts in a passenger's luggage."

Man, I feel soooo much safer knowing the Keystone Cops are on the job.

I don't think I want to know

Well, ok - so... a radio controlled car could look like... like... a James Bond kinda bomb or something?

Yeah, ok, I'm laughing at them too...

Guess they'll have to ban cookies.

You'd be surprised at what will set off alarms on the machines.

Fudge. Brownies. Expensive (lead) crystal. All of those look like explosive material to the machines.
