Fake cigarette triggers major M6 anti-terror incident - Telegraph

Dude, it was an eCig, someone stealth vaping on a bus, put it in their bag, button got pressed, vapour came out of bag, someone called it in as a bomb, motorway was shut down and police surrounded the bus. They found, yes you guessed it, an eCig.

People aren't joking around when they say mechs+unsafe battery discharge=a pipe bomb...but you hand someone any appliances with the know-how, they'll make an IED or chemical delivery system out of it.

Edit-but a little over board on how they responded.

And if you hand a politician an incident like this and they can make a law out of it.

Actually - I'm quite thrilled with how it was reported in the attached article...

Didn't anybody catch it? It's not referred to as "an electronic cigarette" or even "personal vaporizer"

Not once, but twice in the text they refer to is as "A health improvement aid for a smoker"

Sounds good to me

That's a great article. Shows that the police not only know what the device is, but knew what it was for and how beneficial it is. Nobody was hurt because nobody was trying to hurt anybody, it was all just a misunderstanding that was sorted out.

But I bet that person will never forget to lock their pv again lol

While this event may be new to some of you, be mindful that it actually took place back in July of 2012.

It's a bit of silliness that did not go anywhere in 2012. What's your point?

I suggest breaking the links to prevent increasing general interest (Google juice) in this story.
