Looks like someone chickened out prior to boarding. Wonder if they got punished by thier Master?

BRISBANE, Australia, (AFP) - Hundreds of airline passengers suffered disruption to their travel plans when a major regional airport was shut down for an hour after a humming and vibrating adult sex toy was mistaken for a bomb.

The vibrator was discovered at 9:15 am (2315 GMT Sunday) by a security officer who checked out a suspicious package inside a rubbish bin at the terminal cafeteria of Mackay Airport in the northeastern state of Queensland, a police spokeswoman said.

The terminal was evacuated immediately while passengers who had just arrived from a flight, check-in staff, cafeteria employees and hire car personnel were all forced to leave.

Cafeteria manager Lynne Bryant said her staff had been cleaning tables when they noticed a strange humming noise coming from the rubbish bin.

"It was rather disconcerting when the rubbish bin started humming furiously," she said.

"We called security and next minute everybody was being evacuated while they checked it out."

The police spokeswoman said another two flights were expected to land at that stage and alternate arrangements were made for the passengers to collect their luggage away from the terminal.

She said the emergency situation was revoked just before 10:00 am when the package was identified as "an adult novelty device".

Bryant said at the time of the upheaval the airport had been quite busy with two main flights due in and out of the airport - wreaking havoc with people's schedules.

She said in retrospect the humming sounded exactly like a vibrator - but it was better to be safe then sorry.

"You can't afford to take chances," she added

Interesting article,

I had a friend who recently returned from a kinky weekend retreat, and when he retrieved his luggage, there was a vibrator missing...maybe it found it's way to Austrailia? hahaha

LOL, Last time I visited my family I found an adult toy store and did some shopping. I got a few vibes, a pair of dildos, some cock rings (including a vampire ring) and a pair of cuffs. I didn't want to lose any of my new toys to airline employees, so I gritted my teeth and packed them in my carry on. I was prepared to be very embarrassed when they insisted on opening and searching my stuff. The older gentleman who took the bag from me and put it on the conveyor also was the man who monitored the screen. About the time my bag would have been under the xray, he blushed and started staring at me. When the bag came out the other end, he quickly slapped an examined sticker on it, blushed continually and didn't meet my eyes. It was all I could do not to laugh.

I'd gladly take a vibrator in my bag any day. I once forgot I had a steak knife in my purse. I had just left a job and I use to keep it in my locker. No one caught me, I found it later myself. No one stopped me. It cracks me up that the lady latter said it sounded just like a vibrator.
