SYDNEY, May 21 — A bomb disposal unit was called to an Australian airport today — only to find the suspicious object was a laser hair removal device.
Avalon airport in Victoria state was partially evacuated in the early hours after the item was detected during a security screening.
“The Bomb Response Unit conducted checks on an item, and it was determined to be a laser hair removal device,” Victoria police told AFP in a statement. Acting Inspector Nick Uebergang said that the suspicious device — the laser hair removal tool — along with a hot chocolate container, was kept on a conveyor belt while police were called.
“The person who had the bag wasn’t too cooperative with us to start off with too, which made things a little bit difficult,” he said. The man was not charged and the airport reopened later in the day.
“Today’s response demonstrates the vigilance of the screening and security processes, with precautionary measures taken immediately to ensure the safety of passengers, staff and the broader community,” a spokesperson said. — AFP
