I wonder if coins are part of "other valuables"?

what an odd statement to make in the article:

Quote:
For the public worried about flying out, there should be no concern. We do not consider this a public safety matter."


Unless you are carrying $20 million in gold in your pocket - you will probably be sale to fly out there...

Obviously an inside job, how else would anyone even know the gold was in that container.
