Here is a fascinating anti-terrorist logic puzzle. I don’t know the solution even myself.  Actually I dreamt this last night, but unfortunately I had woke up before solving it.  Help me to counteract blowing up an airport!

I arrived to an airport and in the customers hall I took part on a product show and I won a beltbag, what I was fond of, so I continued my way wearing it with pleasure.
I entered the garage, where I realized, that I can get out of from through strict security check. There an other passenger helped me to recognize on my brand new beltbag two half of a palm size gray prism, to be sure that they were explosives. (The other passenger disappeared as he wouldn’t be there ever.)
I felt in shit, so I contacted the officer in charge and told her (she was very pretty of course) in private:
Please consider I am cooperating with you fully, but I have a problem and need help from you to solve it. I have a bomb with me, by accidently. I was trapped. And I don’t want it to blow up. And I showed the device to her.
She did not say anything, just started to walk fast towards the stream, by the foot of the building. I followed her. I did not have any question in me: I felt infinite trust towards her. Arriving to the stream I wanted to throw the bomb in the water, but she did not let me to do it.
She started to chase pigeons, as well as me when I saw it. Both of us caught one of them. I thought I knew again the solution to fix the bomb on a pigeon an let it fly, but she tore out the wings of the bird. Then I woke up.
I still wonder:
Why the terrorist needed me to deliver the bomb?
How, where or when planned they to activate it?
Should I really trust in the officer?
Please, help me with solutions to counteract the terrorist attack!
Thanx in advance:
Arnoldino

Since you posted it here as well as another puzzle site, either you really believe that your dreams are prophetic or you've got some other reason that you desperately want this solved right away. Or maybe you just came up with a puzzle that you think is so great you want to share it with everyone. I would think, though, that you'd be sharing it first with people who speak your native language.

hmm...im with zag on this one, it doesn't really seem your english is very good and with everything that happened in the last 10 years or so i don't think a terrorism puzzle would be wise to bring up

So, as I guessed, you did not make up that puzzle, but instead were in some sort of competition where you were supposed to solve it, and you thought you'd have us do your work for you. You'd have gotten more help, here, if you admitted that's what was going on but you'd like us to help you. Knowing the crowd here, if any of us did solve it, we'd give you some hints, at least, though probably not just give you the answer.
