The Slovakian Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that a sniffer dog had discovered the explosives but the officer got called away to another task and forgot to remove the materials from the bag. The electrician then boarded his Danube Wings flight, completely unaware of his hidden cargo. The Slovakian government says the airport authorities then contacted the pilot, who decided the explosives did not pose a safety risk as they were not connected to other necessary bomb components...
