As stated from some forums you basically need a minor explosion to set of the explosives in question, but they would cause a plane to go down it seems. It is therefore a very irresponsible move from the Slovakian government, it shows a complete disrespect for their citizens..<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">It is a very shocking and disturbing development. I dont know how<br>
volatile the explosives given to the last person were or what level of<br>
explosion would have occurred. Such things are a bit too worrying to<br>
think about. If they had gone off would we have received the same<br>
halfhearted "oh did we do a bad thing?" response?<br>
