TSA / Bomb Squad detonate Canister of Mangoes
Canister Found Inside Luggage, Bomb Squad Called To Airport
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A suspicious piece of luggage that the Columbus Bomb Squad detonated Tuesday night at Port Columbus International Airport turned out to be a canister filled with pickled mangoes.
The Bomb Squad was called to the airport shortly before 7 p.m., 10TV's Kevin Landers reported. An X-ray machine being used by TSA security personnel detected a sealed canister inside a piece of luggage but could not determine what was inside.
The label on the canister was identified as "baby food," Landers reported. The woman who owned the suitcase was questioned and claimed the canister contained pickles. Her claim made security more suspicious so the bomb squad was called.
The Bomb Squad moved the package from the airport's main terminal to a location away from the building and detonated the package.
No flights were impacted and operations inside the airport were not changed, Landers reported.
The woman was not charged.
There were no reports of injuries.

The pickle lady terrorist is on the prowl peoples....be very scared. Make sure before you open the next jar of pickled mangoes to examine them carefully for any unusual coloring or texture. This lady is covertly operating with alqeida, smuggling in dangerous weapons in a canister full of pickles so be on the lookout for this terrorist! She's so scary! LOL
