Narrative:
We have had another incident with undeclared lithium ion batteries in a piece of freight. In this incident; we have two batteries for what appears to be for a piece of military equipment. The larger of the two batteries was attached to the equipment at the time of discovery; the other was stored in a pink plastic sleeve. This was discovered while doing physical search as an alarm resolution when we could not see through the item while x-ray screening.
