#6  Working for TSA (post 9-11 layoff), had guy come thru airport with California-approved Seal Bomb on his way to fishing job inAlaska.
Not only did he and his approved device not make the flight, but if he would have kept his trap shut and not tossed Wifey under the bus (“She packed my stuff”), the FBI wouldn’t have tossed their house and arrested both of them for variety of charges.

#4  QotD: Prosecutor Sherri Stephan argued that it doesn't matter whether the device is a firework, because it meets the federal definition of an explosive and it posed a significant threat to the plane and passengers.

The bag also had "a can of butane, a lighter, a pipe with white powder residue.

Conclusion: Meth Head. Meth Heads do stupid sh!t when they are all whacked out on the crystal. Dissembling fireworks, additions, modifications, and re-assembly sounds about right.

#1  I recommend the TSA sleuths that discovered Muff's material be given a Federal Employee impact performance award of $10,000. (tax-free dollars each) and a week's paid PTO.
