Subject: Latest in Security: This just in from BBC

Hi Dave-- this can't wait.

BBC World Service just told us that French airport security forces,
 in a security exercise to train and/or test explosive-sniffing dogs,
 planted plastic explosives in random pieces of real outgoing
 luggage, intending of course to remove them all before they were
 loaded on planes.

Unfortunately one of those pieces of luggage got away.  French
 airport security has sent out an all-points alert to the world's
 airports that an unsuspecting passenger is carrying explosives
 he or she knows nothing about.

The luggage is blue.

Nobody could make that one up.

Happy trails, Ted
