Though, in France, we seems to loose radium needles ( for radiotherapy medical machines or/and for food treatment machines)... A fair amount is lost every year and sometimes people find them, usually in a lead thermos sort of case, open it, and lose their arms if not their life... Sometimes they are in a sort of suitcase that could look (with  bad eyes) like a computer case...

It's been going on before the "terrorist scare" sort of thing. One was even left all alone in an hospital waiting room of another service.
Maybe they use the same delivery company in Germany :-)
