These guys must be really good at catching terrorists. From AFP, with thanks to Kemaste:
It was supposed to have been a harmless exercise, but police at Paris' main airport managed to send a package of plastic explosive winging around the world and were still looking for it on Saturday.Fortunately, "it is no more dangerous than a bar of chocolate," said a source at the military's information department.
Gendarmes at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport placed the 150 gram block of explosive in a bag on a conveyor belt to find out whether their sniffer dogs were able to detect it.
During what was described as a "lapse of attention," a baggage handler put the suitcase with checked luggage being sent to an aircraft hold.
Police said the explosive could have been placed on any of about 80 flights.
Herbert Lom's eyelid must really be twitching now.

Mr. Frenchy French and his band of maurauders are not really worried about this because the explosives were ahhhhhh.....;let me let them tell you;Fortunately, "it is no more dangerous than a bar of chocolate," said a source at the military's information department.
Is this because the detonators were not with the explosives? Maybe we should feel as they do or are we thinking that all it would take is for someone to get ahold of this plug it in and BOOOM.
Did they say 150 grams of c-4; this is more than a 1/4 pound of explosives that should be quite TASTY since has been compared to a chocalate bar.
I wonder if there is a prize on the wrapper?
