Portable dental kit mistaken for bomb

A hazmat team and a bomb squad were called to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on the evening of August 13 after luggage workers spotted a suspicious package that turned out to be a portal dental examination kit.

Workers saw white powder and wires coming from a bag in the cargo area of a plane, according to the Associated Press. After calling the phone number on the luggage tag, airline personnel were able to determine that the bag belonged to a dentist from Ecuador and that the bag had wound up in Cincinnati by mistake.
