Essay Title Contest

I have been trying to come up with a title for this essay for 20 minutes and my mind is a blank so let's see who can come up with the best one.

Vibrator in luggage sparks bomb scare, shuts down Berlin airport

Passenger note #SXF airport: Due to police investigation concerning a piece of baggage, check-in at Terminal D is currently restricted.

Staff at Berlin Schönefeld thought they had made an explosive discovery after finding a suspicious looking device in the checked baggage at the airport – but the reality was a little less penetrating. A terminal was evacuated and flights grounded after baggage handlers at the transport hub alerted security to a device found during a routine X-ray of one passenger’s bag.
....

“When I arrived, the terminal was being evacuated,” the passenger wrote. “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.”

The incident reportedly left the assembled security forces in stitches as the red-faced passenger returned to find that they’d missed their flight home.

We won't get you off on time.

Who did not recognize it? Really? In Germany they do not know what that is?
Well ya see I thought it was a big bullet. So we closed the airport, threw the whole euro schedule off, made bunches miss planes, over a sundry item.

@Lily O Lady Thanks LOL, I was gettin' worried about them... my ancestors. Which as I understand it, were from the Heidelberg area (!), which shares most of the letters of my last name. Too funny you mentioned that of all towns. Our first came over a while ago though, 1749.

Phone call to wife waiting for him at home. "Honey I'll be coming soon after I'm done being screwed by the TSA."

I'm reminded of when I worked at a hospital and guys would come into the ER because the device traveled a bit too far and they had to have them surgically removed. Okay. Maybe TMI?
