Liquid found at West Virginia airport tested positive for explosives

Come on people, it's West Virginia. It's probably moonshine, and besides, when did West Virginia get an airport? :worried:

CEREDO, W.Va. - A West Virginia airport terminal was evacuated Thursday after two bottles of liquid found in a woman's carry-on luggage twice tested positive for explosives, a Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman said.


"The bomb squad is on site and the woman is being interviewed by the FBI," Amy von Walter said.

A machine security checkpoint screeners use to test for explosives registered positive, and a canine team also got a positive hit, von Walter said.

Airport manager Larry Salyers said the bottles would be moved by robot to a remote area of the airport where officials would attempt to detonate them. National Guard and State Police explosive experts will conduct chemical field tests to determine what's inside them, he said.

Salyers said he was told the woman was 28-year-old native of Pakistan who had moved to Huntington from Jackson, Mich. He did not know how long she had lived in Huntington.

The woman was still at the airport late Thursday afternoon, but was not under arrest, said FBI spokesman Jeff Killeen.

Commercial airline service was suspended at least until 5 p.m., and about 100 passengers and airport employees were ordered to leave the terminal, Tri-State Airport Authority President Jim Booton. A US Airways spokeswoman said one of its flights was diverted to Charleston's Yeager Airport about 60 miles away.

A screener noticed a bottle in a woman's carry-on bag as she prepared to board a flight to Charlotte, N.C., Booton said. Salyers said she was eventually headed to Detroit.

U.S. authorities banned the carrying of liquids onto flights last week after British officials made arrests in an alleged plot to blow up U.S.-bound planes using explosives disguised as drinks and other common products.

Some travelers were more surprised than fearful about the discovery.

"This is such a small airport. I never imagined something like this happening here," said Shannon Bloss, who was traveling to Orlando, Fla., for a wedding.

Joy and John Cloutre of Ulysses, Ky., were waiting to begin the first leg of their trip to the southeast Asian country of Brunei when the evacuation order came.

"My family didn't want me to leave because of the terrorism in Brunei," Joy Cloutre told the Herald Dispatch of Huntington. "And then we don't even get out of Huntington without something like this happening."

So you didn't know that they had an airport either?


The things you learn on the internet. :shocked:



This is almost on par with the 60 year old woman they pulled off a plane yesterday. :rolleyes:
 
I set off the detector at the airport one time when they were swabbing the luggage with cloth and put it through the machine. Damn embaressing, security comes over etc. They decided it was my hair gel. Guess what many hairgels have for ingredients? Glycerol. Glycerol like nitro glycerin, it sets off the detectors. I never buy gel with glycerin anymore. The FBI took my ID and made me sign a book etc.

On a completely unrelated note, how long did you think about which user name to choose before settling on "dognutz"?

Well technically its the West Virginia airport, hair-care and tire center. But let's not get hung-up on details.
 
i took moonshine on the plane once...fuckers nearly took it off me (i was giving some to a friend for a laugh) and yeah, the glycerol you add (for texture :) ) can do it

i put on my sad face (at the prospect of losing my booze) and the airport lady snuck me through. aaawwwwwwwww :)

(suckerrrrrr lol)
 
muslim female, liquid explosive hmmm.

we should be like isreal and institute racial profiling for non-citizens. what good are we doing the nation by frisking 80 y/o grannies. If an ethnic group wants to bitch, they can stop being the #1 source of terrorists for starters. National Security comes first than pleasing foreigners.

I totally agree.

Also, passports are already barcoded. I think there should be a $250 background check you can pay for that will get you vastly expedited service through security and other nuesance searches. As long as someone is willing to travel with their passport, they could blow by checkpoints with a single swipe.
