UPS wedding cake bomb

You know when something rings a bell.

One of the posts last week did that.

The video of the package being handed over the counter at Camden is hilarious. What? you've not seen it. (Maybe I'll post it)
Very nervous bloke comes in and hands over the package, if anyone was ever acting suspiciously, this is the guy. It was the cricket reference that reminded me, when the CCTV was checked, the X-Ray operators were playing cricket as the packages sailed through the X-Ray machine.

I also have the details of the DfT inspector that walked straight into the Dewsbury Centre, up the ramp into the warehouse, past a member of staff and just roamed around. Security came up the following day and did an audit. No surprise we failed. Now why didn't they come up before and audit?

You couldn't write this stuff.

Anonymous, what do you have to say to that?

It was only a fake bomb?


Revealed: How a fake bomb was found in wedding cake box that travelled on UPS flight from London to Turkey

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
It has emerged that a fake bomb was found on a cargo plane that travelled from the UK to Turkey without being detected.
An investigation has been launched after the lapse which the Department for Transport said was taking "very seriously".
The package - including a timer, wires and a detonator - was delivered by a Turkish man to a UPS office in north London two weeks ago, according to ITV News.

Last week a 26-year-old Turkish man was arrested at his home on suspicion of making a bomb hoax, police have said.
The man was taken to a North London police station where he was questioned and released on bail until May.
Police carrying out a search at an address in north London said the incident was not terrorist-related.
A DfT spokesman said: 'The Government is aware of this incident and takes it very seriously. We have already begun an investigation which will look at all aspects of this accident, including UPS's procedures.
'The UK has one of the toughest security regimes for air cargo in the world. All security measures are subject to continuous review.'
A UPS spokeswoman said: 'Two weeks ago, a suspicious package travelled within the UPS network aboard an all-cargo aircraft from the United Kingdom to Istanbul, Turkey.
'UPS is co-operating with the UK Department for Transport's investigation of the incident. UPS has a multiple-layered approach to ensure security.'
Last October a bomb disguised as an ink cartridge was found on a UPS cargo plane at East Midlands Airport. Police later said it was timed to detonate over the eastern seaboard of the United States. The bomb, and another found in Dubai, contained at least 300g (10.58oz) of the powerful explosive PETN.
