Honey shuts down California airport for hours

A man had five glasses of
honey in his checked luggage. The bag did test positive for explosives but nothing was found but honey.
Two agents became nauseated when they opened the suitcase and were
hospitalized (must have been some awfully strong honey!). Man released without charges.
------------
A
massive investigation at Meadows Field Airport involving hazardous materials experts, a bomb squad and the temporary evacuation and closure of the airport was all triggered by some
bottles of honey.

They did a swab test of the interior of the bag and the exterior of the bottles, which
tested positive for an explosive, the sheriff said.
Another kind of test was positive for a different explosive, Youngblood said.

--------------
A passenger's suitcase tested positive for TNT at Bakersfield's Meadows Field during a routine swabbing of the bag's exterior, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. When TSA officials opened the bag, they found bottles filled with an amber liquid, he said.
"Why in this day and age would someone take a chance carrying honey in Gatorade bottles?" Youngblood asked. "That itself is an alarm. It's hard to understand."
