Bomb alarm at Munich Airport: Man causes chaos in the terminal!
On October 13, 2025, a 44-year-old man alerted the police at Munich Airport with a bomb threat - only clothes in his suitcase.
Bomb alarm at Munich Airport: Man causes chaos in the terminal!
A grueling operation occupied the security forces at Munich Airport on Friday afternoon. The alarm was raised when a 44-year-old drunken man claimed he had placed a bomb in a suitcase in Terminal 1. This ensured that the area around the suspicious piece of luggage was blocked off, which quickly turned out to be not dangerous. Only clothing and hygiene products were found in the suitcase - but the man himself was not connected to the luggage, according to the investigation.
The incident began with the man's aggressive behavior towards airport employees, which brought security forces into action. [Süddeutsche] reports that the man stated that the suitcase belonged to him and contained a bomb. These allegations led to special forces and an explosives detection dog being called to the scene. When the federal police arrived on site, they immediately began checking the man's identity and the area had to be cordoned off for the investigation.
Unexpected insights and legal consequences
After a thorough investigation, it turned out that the piece of luggage did not belong to the 44-year-old. Only personal items such as clothing and toiletries could be found inside. Evidence suggests that he is not connected to the suitcase or its owner. As a result of his actions, an investigation was initiated against him for feigning a crime and theft, and he must expect to pay costs for the police operation, as [T-Online] also reports.
However, the issue of security at the airport is not limited to this isolated incident. There have previously been a number of security incidents that have reignited debate about the effectiveness of existing security measures at airports. In fact, such an incident, in which a hostage-taker broke through a barrier, was used as an opportunity to review the need for stricter measures and laws. Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing addressed this and called for an urgent adjustment to the Aviation Security Act in order to punish intrusions into security areas more severely, as [BR] highlights.
The current legal situation only provides for such intrusion as an administrative offense with a fine of up to 10,000 euros, which Wissing considers to be inadequate. He therefore calls for a fundamental reassessment of the legal framework for access to sensitive areas of airports in order to avoid similar incidents in the future.
These incidents once again highlight the importance of airport security and the need for authorities to remain vigilant at all times. The 44-year-old man's case is now being investigated further as the debate surrounding aviation safety standards continues.
