Things That Go Buzz In The Night

"Personal Massager" Shuts Down Aussie Airport

Well, probably something Doc Johnson and company concocted. A sex toy, to be specific.

The airport was reopened about 45 minutes after the initial alert. As for the sex toy, no one claimed it. It's now in the lost and found bin -- sans batteries.
