BOSTON (AP) - State police and security officials say a U.S.
Marine was arrested Sunday morning at Boston's Logan International
Airport after screeners found bomb-making materials, a gun and
ammunition in his checked baggage.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Ann Davis
says 22-year-old Cpl. Justin Reed, of Jacksonville, N.C., was
booked on US Airways Flight 877 to Charlotte, N.C. Davis says Reed
arrived in Boston on a flight from Las Vegas earlier Sunday
morning. Davis says the TSA is trying to determine why the items
were not detected during a screening in Las Vegas.
State police at Logan were notified about the items by the TSA
screeners.
Reed was charged with possession of an infernal machine and
possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport.
Bail was set at $50,000.
