The story might amuse you due to the naïveté of the young man for carrying a fake time-bomb inside Toronto International Airport that he was charged with mischief. He was carrying the fake alarm-triggered dynamite bundle inside his carry-on luggage when it was found by a screening officer and caused alarm with a bomb-disposal team sent to the scene and most of Terminal 3 shut down for 3 hours.

The fake time-bomb is a product of Nootropic Design and is actually a defusable clock which is harmless enough to be set on anyone's bedside table. Of course, with the fake dynamite, wires, and timer airport security or any public building would be alarmed as it does not appear to be fake for the first time.

If you're planning on bringing such a device along with you, it's best to have it shipped to your destination with "toy time-bomb" written all over it so as not to make the courier panic while he's on his way to deliver it to your address.

For airsoft players, especially game organizers, it is best to keep in mind this incident. Airsoft usually has game scenarios where airsoft players are given the objective of the planting or defusing a "bomb" and the Nootropic Design Defusable Alarm Clock are used by some game sites with one model with fake plastic explosives rather than dynamite. Well, there are many more like this in the airsoft market.

If you  are carrying one of these contraptions, please be mindful to treat it the way you carry your airsoft guns to the game site, keep them out of sight from the public. I would strongly recommend these being brought into airplanes whether inside checked-in or carry-on luggage as airport and airline security are some of the most paranoid in civilian facilities. It will be very hard to "defuse" a situation like this and in the case of the Canadian teenager, he was lucky that he was not charged with any crime. You might not be lucky in your own country if you do the same stunt.
