    Reports now of a overwhelming smell of deodorant or air freshener in the terminal,
    Makes me think of how retail stores add certain scents to their air freshness to boots sales, I can only imagine airport perfume shops do similar, I wonder did this scented air freshening malfunction somehow

    Is it legal to carry that stuff in the UK? Who in their right mind would bring it to an airport?

    No, it would be classed as a weapon, same as it is here.

    Someone, carrying it for whatever reason, probably suddenly remembered it in the terminal, thought "oh sh!t" and disposed of it into a bin. By sheer chance, something else being tossed in on top of it caused it to discharge. Chances are there was no malicious intent to it, but after the incident on the tube, nobody would be taking chances.

    Looking at some of the pictures there appears to be passengers evacuated on the apron/runway area, is this not a security risk itself?

    I know London City is small but how would airports usually segregate checked passengers from everyone else?

    I suspect that they are passengers who were already airside either departing or arriving.
