Security officers became suspicious because of discrepancies in Anne Murphy’s story. This is what trained Profilers at airports look for: “Things that don’t add up”. Anne Murphy claimed not to know anyone in Israel (because her boyfriend told her to lie). So she was travelling alone to a country she had never visited before, didn’t know details of her hotel accommodation in Israel, had very little money, claimed she had a credit card which turned out to be a bank card just for taking cash from a ATM in the UK, didn’t know the details of her air ticket. So she was selected for enhanced screening and the semtex was discovered when her packed bag was emptied and found to be unusually heavy.
