First Bras, Now Bacon: Breakfast Meat Triggers Alarm

I can almost imagine how giant underwire bras might prompt an airport security brouhaha, but now bacon—that most innocuous of breakfast meats—has reportedly done it? Oh, the humanity!
Security screeners at an Austrian airport thought they had cause for alarm when scanning a man’s bacon-filled bag, the Austrian news site Nachrichten reports.
The screeners can hardly be blamed. According to a mysterious “official” quoted in the story, bacon has the same molecular density as dynamite and caused airport alarms to be triggered. The man and his meat were properly inspected, found harmless, and released. (via Gadling)
