A man who says he was only carrying honey is still in custody at an airport in California, USA, that was shut down when his bags tested positive for explosives. Police in Bakersfield say he is cooperating and they are still trying to understand what set off the machines and caused the screeners who opened the bottles to complain of nausea and a strong chemical smell. In a separate incident, flights were delayed and a terminal evacuated in Minneapolis/St Paul after a sniffer dog detected possible explosives.
