Quote:French airport loses explosives
Paris, France, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Staff at a Paris, France, airport mistakenly loaded plastic explosives onto a plane after security lost it during an exercise, the BBC reported Sunday.
About five ounces of the explosive were slipped into the bag of a passenger during dog training at Charles de Gaulle Airport. The bag ended up flying away on one of 90 flights leaving at the time, and police were trying to track it down Sunday. Airlines, airports and police forces around the world have been alerted.
However, police said the explosive is "no more dangerous than a bar of chocolate."
