After reading another topic under SAS, I thought that non-Danish speaking flyers would be interested in the reason for the partial evacuation in CPH on 10/11.

It seems that a young woman had an egg timer in her suitcase for a trip to London and Los Angeles on BA. to visit her boyfriend.

According to the Danish paper “B.T.” the x-ray of the suitcase caused the airport to call in a bomb squad which found the egg timer. It turns out that the suitcase belonged to a young Danish woman. She explained that it was her friend’s suitcase, which she had borrowed from him when she previously flew home to Denmark. Now it was empty and she did not know the egg timer was in the suitcase.

Despite her explanation, the BA Captain refused to have her onboard . Other passengers were denied boarding as they had the same name “Rasmussen” as the young woman.

It seems as she got onboard a later flight to London.
