Once again, UPS is in the fireing line with the media revealing a fake bomb being loaded on a UPS Airlines and making it from London to Istabul.

An investigation has begun, with UK Police stating the incident was not terrrorist related, but the UK Department for Transport said it was taking the matter “very seriously”.

The device was disguised as a wedding cake box, to a UPS office in Camden according to ITV News.

UPS is cooperating with the Department for Transport

And of course, the media aew whipping this into a storm. Obviously knowing the secuirty forces, this will be whipped into more tighter regulation for the passenger, whilst ignoring the cargo side.

Again.

What wonderful news to be travelling on today…
