Vibrator shuts down Australian airport

Mon Oct 4, 1:47 PM ET

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She said the emergency situation was revoked just before 10:00 am when the package was identified as "an adult novelty device".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

Had to be netmichelle!

they would end up in a landfill and produce toxic leachate.

If it were a greyhound terminal I might believe it!

Every time I travel I find my bag opened and messed up. Finally I asked one airline why someone had went through my bag and apparently they have a device that can spot batteries attached to things. When this is found security goes through your bag to unattach all batteries from their devices.

It's a pain in the ass to have to search through my bags when I get to the hotel to find my batteries so I can relax after a long flight.


XOXO Charis

It was my Kerry button and I told them they would have to pry it off my dead body.

I learned long ago to take my batteries out of my expensive play toys before going through the gates.
