Soft Drink Bomb a "fizzer"

From the article:
However a Victoria Police spokeswoman today said no offence had been detected ‘‘due to an initial misinterpretation of foreign lettering on the print of the can’’.

She said the word was printed on the can itself and not handwritten, as originally reported by police yesterday.

The spokeswoman could not say what language the word was written in, or what the brand of the drink was. However police have confirmed no explosives were found in the can or on the plane, and no threat was intended.

It seems to me there should be a balance between being security conscious and jumping at shadows.

"Alert but not alarmed" anyone?
