Link: Passenger arrives with banned item.

In yet another terrorism scare, a man disembarking a United Airlines plane refused to turn over a pop bottle to flight attendants and put Saginaw County authorities on alert.

The incident happened about 9 p.m. Friday as passengers exited the craft at MBS International Airport in Freeland, scanner traffic indicated. Airline officials were unsure how the man smuggled the plastic container aboard.

It's only been a few days, and the TSA is already asleep at the switch.  Incredibble.

"...Saginaw County Sheriff’s deputies said the contents of the bottle were dumped out, making an analysis impossible."
Yeah right, I'd say someone sure as hell dropped the ball, or didn't want info released as to content. Surely trace available...

I'm sure they could take a sample from the bottle and carpet or whatever he dumped the contents onto and make an analysis of whatever was in the container. One would hope they did and are just keeping it a secret but with airport security being what it is they probably didn't.
