A vibrating toy in a rubbish bin has sparked a security scare and shut a regional Australian airport for almost an hour reports Reuters.
An emergency was declared at the airport in Mackay, 500 miles north of Brisbane after airport staff heard a strange noise coming from the bin, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio said.
"It was rather disconcerting when the rubbish bin started humming furiously," cafeteria manager Lynne Bryant noted.
Police evacuated the terminal and were about to call in bomb experts when an unidentified passenger came forward to identify the contents of a package left in the bin.
A police spokeswoman said the package was identified as an "adult novelty device".
