Suitcase burts into flames at airport

BANGKOK: -- A French passenger was burned last night when lacquer wax he was carrying in his suitcase caught fire at Don Muang airport before he boarded a THAI flight to Paris.

Stethane Rolland, 40, who was accompanied by his wife Sylvie, was checking in for flight TG930 leaving at midnight, officials said.

Security officers asked him to open his bag when the can of lacquer wax was detected in the X-ray machine. As Mr Rolland opened the bag it burst into flames, burning his left hand and right leg.

Officials believe a spark might have been generated when the bag was opened and it ignited the inflamable material.

Fire extinguishers were used to put out the fire and the passenger was given first aid. The couple then flew out.

Well, that is different from the Thai news, though. It said the security lady told the Frenchman not to carry those wax canisters. He didn't understand her so she opened the lid, pour some wax on the X-ray machine surface, and set fire to demonstrate the effect! :o

What will happen if no one detected and it happen during the fright?

Well lets see highly oxiginated invornment along with tons of flammable material, there are reasons why shipping on aircraft is tightly controled. Even the military has fuel tanks purged and cleaned prior to transport by air. A very dangerous thing to do.

Does this make him french toast?

I think the current (PC) term is "Freedom Toast"

:o  :D

Q: What's the difference between Frenchmen and Toast?

A: You can make Soldiers out of Toast !  :D

Mr BoJ

Reminds me of a picture I saw of a magazine cover:

"Soldier of Surrender" - Official Magazine of the French Army

Or that Simpon's episode, where Groundskeeper Willy (the Scotsman) had to teach French because of a teachers strike:

"Bonjooouuur you cheese-eating surrender monkeys" (imagine it with a heavy Scot's accent)
