HOUSTON (AP) - A stick of dynamite was found in a college student's checked luggage on a Continental Airlines flight from Argentina, authorities said, in one of six security incidents Friday affecting U.S. flights.

Federal authorities were investigating why the student, who got off the Continental plane in Houston before it continued to Newark, N.J., had the explosive, FBI spokeswoman Shauna Dunlap said. She said the student did not appear to be connected to terrorism.

Houston Fire Department Assistant Chief Omero Longoria said the man told authorities he works in mining and often handles explosives. Longoria said federal officials were investigating whether the explanation was true.

there's no excuse for that. I could understand residue on the luggage, but putting a stick of dyanmite in your bag is a BAD idea.

"bad idea" is the understatement of the century right there

What gets me is dynamite is an outdated explosive, I dont think anywhere in the western world used it anymore.

I can't imagine this kid thinking it would be funny, but I bet he did. If he's not a terrorist I could almost see him trying to test the system as Im sure many have before and got away with it. I can imagine imagine him thinking What's the worst that can happen? I'm not a terrorist or his friends put him up to it.... just to see if he would get caught. However, he was asking for some major big time trouble and he got it. He will definately pay a big price for his mistake.

agree with PureMeds, BAD idea ... :upsidedow

what happened to the good old days when someone was just labeled "fucked in the head" or "idiot" or whatever and we all just went on with our days? why analzye a jackass who brought dynamite onto a plane as if there were plenty of great reasons why it could have happened?

jesus.

fucking liberal pussies.

;)

must be hard to explain your innocent bringing a stick of dynamite on a plane!

But it explodes, still.:disgust

that boy will be doing some time

Fuss fuss - all anybody thinks about is terrorism.. it inhibits real crime.

Look - the guy needs to do a hit, so he's got some cheap explosive. Why can't law enforcement understand there is more to life than putting money in their pockets? Other folks need to earn a living as well - and some happen to be hitmen. No biggie :pimp

I agree .... the words I would use to describe him would be "fucking moron".
It was in a checked bag, but what kind of a "fucking moron" thinks he can
get through Customs with a stick of dynamite .... "uh ... I thought it was a
road flare" ....... wrong answer .... send "fucking moron" away, we don't
need more people that stupid standing on street corners.

this isn't the same as trying to get that cheap bagt of great

this isn't the same as trying to get that cheap bag of great weed bag home.

and just to bitch ..... this is another "RICH fucking moron ASSHOLE" .....
daddy will bail him out just like he pays his $31,500 tuition, and his
$10,000 room and board, and his fees ..... nearly $45K a year for
undergrad ....... this kid isn't even going to see a holding cell ....

There are rules that forbit to transport explosives via airplane. Like a spray for example. What should the boarde men understand here?
