Breaking: Munich airport closes after explosives found in passenger laptop
And you wonder why Israeli security has been known to take away laptops and sometimes even shoot holes in them.... Munich airport was closed after a passenger's personal computer was found to contain explosive material. After the explosives were discovered, the passenger managed to escape.At least they found it before he got on a plane.
All flights have been canceled and the airport closed.
And oh yes, something tells me the guy wasn't a Christian or a Jew.
UPDATE 9:30 PM
Fox News adds:
Federal police said they ordered part of the airport's Terminal 2 closed to look for the man following the incident at 3:30 p.m.What could go wrong?
An airport security instrument alerted officials to possible explosives as the man's laptop was being checked, police said. He then hastily left the scene carrying the computer into the terminal.
The alert "doesn't necessary have to mean that there were explosives inside," federal police spokesman Albert Poerschke told the German news agency DAPD.
Officials wanted to check the computer again, but the man left. "We believe that the man didn't realize there was more to come," Poerschke said.
Airport spokesman Florian Engert said a dozen aircraft were unable to depart.

He went running to get coffee?
Hi.
Businessweek reports"The terminal that was evacuated is used for flights to members of the European Union’s Schengen bloc, for which travelers aren’t required to show passports."
Zaventem in Brussels is also a Shengen country airport but no matter where your flight heads you need to show your passport.
Seems they are a bit "easy" at Munich airport.
Anyway i know the airport and it is a bit "gemütlich" maybe they look for weak spots?
Will.
