Web News: Gainward 7800SLI GTX looks like a bomb

According to the authorities at Paris CDG airport

Quote:


	WE WERE included in a minor security incident in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. We showed up in the evening with our neatly-packed luggage and with two Gainward Cool FX 7800SLI graphic cards in a box of its own. After the airport security and luggage scanning we were told that our computer notebook was fine but that there is something more that they want to examine and take a closer look at. After opening the bag, the security officer saw Gainward SLI cards with water cooler in top, was very sceptical about its look, took my landing card and eventually returned with some sort of bomb testing stick that we've already seen in the US. Security chap took a sample for analysis to determine whether this was a graphics card or something worse, like a bomb.

Here is the card in question...It looks like THE BOMB to me.
