| "Grenade" belt buckle shuts down Tromsø Airport |
| 2008-05-05 |
| The alarms went off at 6:20 a.m. and all passengers and employees had to leave the building. The belt buckle was a very close copy of a hand grenade and, not surprisingly, it set off all alarms in the security control. A police expert was able to quickly assess that it was just a belt buckle and the first three planes were delayed by about one-and-a-half hours, after which all routes were back on schedule. The owner realized it was "dumb" to have taken the belt through airport security and continued on his journey without the belt. |
