My question -- what was this JW doing with the Koran in his leather bag?
__________________________________________________________________________________
According to information seen by the Herald Sun, an unidentified passenger passed a brown leather bag through the departures screening machine, and walked off into the departure lounge without picking it up.
An ion-scan trace test returned positive to Cyclotrimenthylenetrin itramine or RDX, as well as C4 -- explosive agents which are used in terrorist acts.
An Australian Protective Security bomb appraisal officer was called, but was unable to see an actual bomb or gun inside.
He then hand-searched the bag and found inside, among everyday items, a copy of the Koran, some clothes, hymn books and other religious paraphernalia to do with the Jehovah Witnesses, and CDs of music from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
An Australian Federal Police officer and the senior APS took exactly three minutes to recommended that the area be immediately evacuated and the suspect pursued.
But two hours later, the Department of Transport and Regional Services and the Sydney Airport Corporation issued a joint order that: "No search would be required."
The official explanation yesterday was that the bag's owner was a member of a Jehovah's Witnesses convention that had met in Sydney and had left his bag in the rush to board his plane.
