Bloemfontein - An Mpumalanga woman's joke about having a bomb and a machine gun in her suitcase while checking in at Bloemfontein airport resulted in her being arrested and detained overnight.
...
Apparently she was asked a few times what she had in her suitcase, to which she answered that it contained only clothing and similar items.
When asked for the umpteenth time, she apparently replied in a joking way that she was carrying a machine gun and a bomb or explosives.

A bit ridiculous if you ask me. Can't the police use their common sense. I'm sure they had a field day with this "soft target".
