Security manager Deborah Jeffrey put the pipe bomb in her pocket before passing it to police.

An airport spokesman said: “We are proud of the work that our teams do to ensure the safety and security of passengers. In this instance, the actions of our security team led to the detection of a suspicious device.”

Muhammad, of Bury, told the court he had not seen the device before it was found in his bag and it had “nothing at all” to do with him.

He is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court today.

Officers would like to hear from anyone with information who was in the area of Templeton Woods between 12.30pm and 2.30pm on Monday.
