The Slovak Police training explosives incident involved a passenger on
Danube Wings Flight V5
8230, a flight from Poprad-Tatry Airport, Slovak Republic, to Dublin Airport, Ireland, on 2
January 2010, that, three days later, caused an international incident due to
the mistaken carriage of a sample of plastic explosive on the aircraft.
The explosive had been placed in a departing passenger's luggage in
Poprad-Tatry Airport as part of a sniffer dog effectiveness test for checked in luggage.
The test material was detected by the dogs.
A Slovak security officer apparently
then failed to remove it, and the bag was loaded onto a flight to Dublin. With
security checks not generally performed for arrivals, the passenger arrived
without incident and took the bag to his home in central Dublin.
On January 5,
the area surrounding his apartment was sealed off and evacuated, while Army bomb
disposal experts recovered the sample. The passenger was arrested but released
without charge.
