Pleasure device

Berlin airport cordoned off after police mistake 'pleasure device' for grenade

German police took a woman aside for questioning after finding what they thought to be a hand grenade. The item turned out to be a personal vibrator sex toy.

The passenger who spoke to local media under the condition of anonymity said she was taken to a room where a team of fully kitted up bomb squad members surrounded her bag.

"I approached a police officer and told him that I needed to check my bag with the baggage handlers. He asked my name and for my passport. He then spoke into his radio and several armed police swarmed me with automatic weapons."
