I wonder if a blaster was involved...

BUFFALO, N.Y. A false alarm at the Buffalo, New York, airport.

Officials say a suspicious bag prompted authorities to clear the airport's main terminal early this morning. The bag was later found to contain "Star Wars" toys and memorabilia.

A spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration tells a Buffalo radio station (W-B-E-N) that the bag was apparently left by someone who departed yesterday on a flight bound for Miami.

After the bag was removed to a secure location, officials discovered it held nothing but "Star Wars" stuff.

The security sweep resulted in long lines at the check-in point.

Heh, a suspicious bag was discovered today, I don't remember where I think an airport.

Well the bomb squad came and removed the bag. it was filled with Star Wars Toys! lol

I see a connection to the recent news of the 'glorious' new hasbro exclusives today.

Here's what happened:

One of us flew to Florida to nab the Star Tours line.  Upon arriving back to the airport he reads of the new exclusives in the newspaper.

Promptly he goes insane and runs screaming from the airport ripping his hair out.  Being an international Airport, such behavior isn't unexpected...only later when our fellow collector's baggage is discovered by the news-stand...

If you would put stuff in the right place, we wouldn't have to keep moving it...
