No, but they MISSED a 500 count brick of large magnum rifle primers going into the cargo hold. This was discovered only because the bag containing the primers was dropped during a change of flight. (If you aren't familiar with rifle primers, 500 of them would make quite a nice BANG.)
The fellow who arrived at his meeting shoeless did have a great story to tell, though. That is priceless PR for our side....
