yes i understand .... but it was planted on a man unknowingly, who then took it on the flight (this type of explosive is unstable at -4 degrees), then left Dublins airport and went home to his flat.
more than meets the eye to this story

yes tiptop .... but they planted REAL explosives, didnt find it before he got on the plane, and still let it take off knowing that an unstable bomb was planted on the plane
no security experts would allow this to happen

Explosives planted on man to test airport security
Security was being tested at Bratislava Airport Irish police have released a man held over an explosives find, after Slovak authorities admitted planting them in his luggage as part of a security test.
The explosives were among eight contraband items placed with passengers at Bratislava Airport last weekend, broadcaster RTE reported.
The 49-year-old man unwittingly brought the material into Dublin when he returned from his Christmas holidays.
He was arrested on Tuesday morning but has since been released without charge.
Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern said he was very concerned that Irish police had not been alerted for three days.
Airport security detected seven of the illicit items, but the eighth - 90g of research development explosive - managed to escape detection.
Slovak authorities were reportedly trying to test screening procedures for checked-in luggage by placing items with unwitting passengers.
Slovak police alerted their Irish counterparts on Tuesday morning, and the man's flat near the city centre was cordoned off while bomb disposal experts removed the explosives for further examination.
The Irish Army said passengers had not been put in danger because the explosives were stable and not connected to any essential bomb parts.
The Slovak minister for the interior has expressed his government's "profound regret" to Mr Ahern.
An Irish government spokesman said Mr Ahern had "ordered a full report into what has transpired".
Airport security has been stepped up in many countries following an alleged plot to bomb an airliner over the US city of Detroit on 25 December, though it was not clear if the Slovak test was linked to such efforts.
