Was thinking same Basheer - was planning to bring back toner for my printer - presume it will still be ok in hold luggage?

If in your hand luggage just tell them at security and they will do a test for explosives etc no problem

I think you'll find the offending item (bomb) was packed into a laser toner cartridge which is about 10 times bigger than the silly little pots of ink you get in an ink-jet....
