        British police have released a man who was detained by security staff at Buckingham Palace on suspicion of carrying a Taser.
        
        Police say the man posed no threat and that his possession of the device was a genuine error. The device was found to be low-powered and part of a keyring.
        The 38-year-old had been taken into custody at the visitors' entrance to the palace Sunday afternoon after discovery of the device.
        
        London police says in a statement that visitors should be aware that small knives and Tasers can be considered offensive weapons in Britain.
