    WTF?

    Have they checked "Lost and Found"?

    One of the iSecurity might have put it in storage, like they did at The McNamara Federal building in Detroit. (Honestly, Ya can't make up sillier stuff!)

    Bomb Threats

    I remember the good old days of bomb threats.

    Mark Thomas phoning the Excel centre in London to advise they had a bomb in the building. And technically he wasn't lying - it was the Defence & Security International conference :)
