俄亥俄州的行李有可疑物：醃芒果

An Ohio airport summoned a bomb squad to detonate a suspicious item that turned out to be pickled mangoes.

一座位於俄亥俄州的機場召喚防爆小組來引爆一只可疑物，結果發現（該可疑物）居然是醃芒果。

X-ray equipment used by federal security screeners in Columbus could not detect what was inside a sealed canister in luggage being inspected around 7 p.m. Tuesday.

週二晚間7時左右，哥倫布市的聯邦安全掃描人員所使用的X光設備，無法偵測出一個放在行李裡的密封罐裡面放的是什麼東西。

The container was labeled "baby food," but authorities say security personnel became suspicious when the woman who owned the suitcase claimed the canister held pickles.

該密封罐上的標籤寫著是「嬰兒食品」，但當局表示，安全人員之所以起疑，是因為擁有該行李箱的婦女宣稱，罐子裡裝的是醃漬品。

A fire department bomb squad removed the item from the airport and detonated it, discovering the mangoes.

消防部門的一支防爆小組將該物件拿離開機場並且引爆，結果發現（罐子裡面裝的是）芒果。
