An Oklahoma man was taken into custody after he tried to carry a bomb on board an airplane on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, an FBI spokesman said.
Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr., 24, was detained on Wednesday morning after a security screener using an X-ray machine saw the device in his luggage as he tried to board a flight to Philadelphia at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City.
"Although the investigation is in its initial stages we have found no apparent connection to any type of terrorist activity or group," FBI spokesman Gary Johnson said.
Johnson said the screener saw an "improvised explosive device" in Dreyling's carry-on luggage.
A woman answering the phone at Dreyling's home on Wednesday night declined to discuss the matter.
Johnson said Dreyling would be charged in federal court on Thursday with possession of an explosive device at an airport.

How exactly is carrying an improvised explosive device onto an airplane not terrorism?
Maybe it wasn't rigged to blow? It had the components but he was actually a firecracker salesman. So it's like when you get on board with a lighter. We know your not gonna use that to blow something up. But your not allowed to have it on board and now you will be fined and held in brief custody. Spitballin' here.

i'm with you serj...i would be interested in knowing what this man's color and creed were and why a bomb in a suicase is differnet than a bomb in a shoe or any other explosive device (even firecrackers) carried onto a plane.

terrorism as in representing a group trying to get a message across, believe it or not ara, some people are just plain crazy
Oh I see. So if you're crazy we won't call you a terrorist. Makes sense.
yanno, im not even supposed to have respect for you, you pot head
but are you really so jaded with the government that you cant see the difference between some singular crazed wacko, and a group of people who send someone with a message?
