Fake bomb breaches airport security

A REPLICA bomb, a gun and a knife concealed in a woman's underwear were among the items smuggled through security at Dublin Airport in an anti-terrorist audit yesterday.

Dublin Airport confirmed that an EU-sanctioned audit of security had been secretly conducted and a number of breaches were brought to the attention of the airport authorities.

The routine audit exposed serious deficiencies in security. A female inspector managed to conceal a knife in her underwear, while her male colleague stuffed a gun down his trousers.
