Why no link to the similar French incident?[edit]

The same thing happened a few years back at the Paris Charles-de-Gaulle airport.

Wrong assertion - dog DID NOT locate both items[edit]

"Sniffer dogs located both items, but this man was allowed to pass through and fly to Dublin" is wrong, according to Slovak media. According to Aktualne.sk online daily (citing government sources), the sniffer dog officer had been called to another plane before checking the man's luggage. Even if not true, there is no basis for "located both items" in any of the quoted newspaper articles, so this sentence should be changed or deleted. Please do it. Vis [1]

Acording to Tibor Mako, chief of border police department of Slovak republic the dog located both items. The officer forgot to remove one of them. My source is the press conference with official statements, not an assertion and not some newspaper speculations. Vis [2]

Thanks for the correction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.220.219.159 (talk) 13:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crazyness around the event[edit]

1. Is this article worthy to be here? 2. How much was this event really serious and how much it was dramatized by media? For example, the quote “It is an unbelievable mistake. If that much explosive was detonated, it would cause serious damage, it would kill if it went off in a plane.” sounds like a media quick-made expertwedontknow if-if-if... opinion, maybe a hoax, but certainly not significant. 3. It is too soon to make a serious article, shoudnt be a template there? 4. Please be careful when editing the article and do not get dragged into media-made crazyness. 5. Motto: Worse things happens. Thanks god journalists dont know ;-)--Michalides (talk) 16:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1 yes. 2 No doubt the media over-dramatised it. There was no danger of an explosion as there was no detonator. 3. No, get the info down while it is fresh is a good policy. 4. We deal in facts here, not speculation. Many Wikipedia editors are able to differentiate between the two. 5. True

Amount of explosive[edit]

The intro mentions 96 grams of explosive, but later the article claims only "10 grams of RDX". The source for the latter is a dead link. Muad (talk) 13:01, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
