Passenger claims 'adult novelty device' before bomb squad called

SYDNEY - A vibrating sex toy in a trash bin sparked a security scare and shut a regional Australian airport for almost an hour, officials said Monday.


An emergency was declared at the airport in Mackay, 500 miles north of Brisbane in tropical Queensland state, after airport staff heard a strange noise coming from the bin, Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio said.

“It was rather disconcerting when the rubbish bin started humming furiously,” cafeteria manager Lynne Bryant said.
