They should pay, though I do think that the sorting office is partially responsible.

How does a camera in a bottle equal a bomb in someone's mind?

Better to be safe than sorry when the package gets scanned and the address is also 'BBC NI' I spose :oops:

I can see that aspect but the do you think that BBC Northern Ireland wants to break away from BBC North and claim independence? ;)

It's all about recognition :)

In all seriousness, there's a long history of targeting public services of every description, and the Beeb itself. Putting 'From BBC NI' on it would mean it looked like a package from one department to the other. Though in this case it wouldn't surprise me if the sender's address partly triggered all this.

The Royal Mail. Should pay. What is suspicious about a camera? :? How can someone mistake a camera for a bomb? I've ordered cameras by mail order before and never had any problems getting them delivered.

I'm thinking it might have been more of a 'recording lense' bit of electronics kit than a full-on camera, hence it being in the bottle. They were also possibly looking at a scan that didn't show much detail :|

I do think that the private sorting office should pay. They might have some grounds for asking for a contribution from the BBC.
