Bobigny (France) : A security exercise gone wrong saw tempers flare in a Paris airport, after fake explosive devices were discovered by FedEx workers in a ripped package, sources said, reports AFP.
Employees of the American courier service at Charles de Gaulle airport were shocked to find a pressure cooker filled with nuts and bolts inside a package in transit from the US to Tunisia On further inspection they discovered a container of other similar devices, along with what appeared to be detonators, said Frederic Petit, who represents the company’s employees for the CGT union.
The staff alerted authorities of “imminent danger,” and officials arrived to test the device using sniffer dogs and X-ray machines.
FedEx employees want to see such parcels banned from transit through France.
