Another security lapse in another part of the world. It involves Ireland and Slovakia and explosives in a suitcase. NPR's Rob Gifford explains.
ROB GIFFORD: Ludmila Stanova, spokeswoman for the Slovakian Interior Ministry, takes up the story of what then happened on one such exercise last Saturday.
LUDMILA STANOVA: A border police officer who works as a dog handler placed two samples of an explosive into one bag. The sniffer dog found one sample, after which the police officer and the dog were called off to a different matter, and the officer had forgotten to take out the second sample.
