“BKA officials have examined it and the result is that it is a so-called ‘real test suitcase’ from a US company,” Dr. Maiziere told reporters Friday in Hamburg. “This company produces alarm and detection systems and these test suitcases are made to test security measures. No explosives were found in the suitcase and at no time was there any danger to passengers.”
