The French police lost a bag of plastic explosives at the airport of Paris CDG while training police-dogs. It's possible that the bomb ended up in one of the cargo-compartments of an aircraft. According to the police nobody should be worried as the bomb didn't contain a detonator.
To make the excercise more realistic the French police placed the 150 gram of plastic explosives in one of the passenger's luggages. But a "momentary lack of surveillance" led to the bag being lost on a conveyor belt carrying luggage from check-in to planes. Said the police spokesmen.
Some Air France aircrafts and one American Airlines aircraft have been searched for the bomb but until now the plastic explosives haven't been found. Someone will have a surprise when he opens his luggage.
French web-site www.eurocockpit.com imagines the letter the French police sent worldwide...
"We are the gablous of Roissy in France, you are going to rigoled but we have fourré the valoche of one passenger qui is going chez vous with explosive because the dog should have sniffed the valoche.
But the couillon of dog was in RTT (you know the 35 heures) and left the valoche partir with Air France but impossible to know lequel (d'avion).
Please essayez to give us back the dynamit if you choppe the man that has the valoche."
so now you know , sometimes i get tired that you get checked like a criminal in paris if you pas by the crew and now they lose , the police for that case 150 gram of plastic .. well they better look better out then handing it to criminals , they are stupid , how do you lose 150 grams , did the dog not pick up the explosives , i feel very unsafe now in paris ... everything can pass there ..
I have just seen this on BBC world news and they were doing a interview and then at the end of the segment the man said that someone around the world will be in for a shock when they open theyre luggage . . .
Saying this it would mean that the authorities actually opened personal property of a passenger and left explosives in the suitcase????
Surely it is illegal for them to open peoples property and use it in any way!
If not ... That is the biggest load of bullsh** Ever
This is what happens if we let those control freaks do their thing. Similar things happened already in the USA as well.
France is already much longer on the frontline against terrorist style activities. They had planes been blown up, subways being attacked, dust bins used as weapons, insurgency cells in Roubaix,...Nobody wants it to happen with themselves.
But what will be the next step? I have been checked by french control troopers on the highways several times, in airports, at entrances of meeting places and museums. I don't like it to be controlled. It gives me the feeling that i am a wrong doer. When friends got robbed in Paris the police that guarded the subway didn't want to help. It is just an unorganised gang of uncapable lazy people who do this job to avoid real work. They are protected by all kind of laws and regulations. And when something goes wrong, they hide themsleves behind the rules and regulations, see the blood scandal, the Fourniret case, the child molestation case, the crippled aircraft carrier, the collapsed airport terminal, just give it a name.

Regi has a point here. And yes can they open the bag of a traveller and insert anything in it?
it is just an outrage that they do that , the person who finds it can probably sew the police for breaking into his privacy and should ask so much money that they would be broke asap.
then they will learn , i will lock mu suitcase now in paris very hard and put some kind of wire on the connection so i can see on arrival in destination that there has not been opened in paris , but paris cdg has always been a bad place , if you dont get robbed you get assoulted and not assaulted they brake open your suitcase ...is there any action we can do about it or are we getting f***k all the time ...
asbout the subway police , they are wotrth nothing ,, they think they are cops adn then they cant even catch a commen criminal , you dont have to say your friend got robbed , just say , i saw an arab with a suitcase which looks susupicious ... then they get in to action ...
This is now getting very funny. How long will it take before they kick out the dogs?
About the fired policeman, I know where he will pop up the next coming days: as a subway guard, harrassing innoscent travellers. No I am getting very scared myself: I have to travel to the Paris Trade Fair next Friday. (passing by CDG by the way) This guard may have found a new harrasment job as a fair guard. I tremble in fear already!

You are right, blame it on the dog, it was probably a German shepherd or an English setter
Or a French poodle
British-trained sniffer dogs (often English springer spaniels) are probably some of the most successful in the world at sniffing out suspect packages. Sounds like the ones at CDG are about as competent as some of the plumbers in Paris!

I was at CDG two years ago and I kept beeping at the metal detector gate. They asked me to go around the corner to do manual search. I asked to get my bag first because it contained expensive gear (a Garmin 195 GPS, my headset and a portable radio scanner). They said no and I had to go around the wall. After the search, I go back to the X-Ray machine and guess what... my bag is gone. Fortunately I reacted quickly and ran out to the gate area shouting that someone had stolen my bag. Whoever did it must have panicked and dropped it, so I found it after a couple of minutes. Needless to say, the French police didn't move an inch when I ran past them telling them someone had stolen my bag. Impressive, no?
