Marine Arrested For Bomb in Luggage

A U.S. Marine was arrested Sunday when federal airport screeners detected a gun, ammunition and bomb-making materials on a flight from Las Vegas inside his checked bag. The "Boston Globe" reports it happened at Logan International Airport in Boston. Twenty-two-year-old Corporal Justine Reed, of Jacksonville, North Carolina was booked on U.S. Airways Flight 877 headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. TSA screeners found a locked handgun box with a semi-automatic handgun inside, a fully loaded gun magazine, switches, electronics, several boxes of 9-milimeter and seven-point-62 milimeter ammunition, a hand grenade fuse assembly including detonator, three model rocket engines containing an explosive mixture and kit boxes containing various items. Reed is being held on 50-thousand dollars bond and is charged with possession of an infernal machine and possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport. The items were not discovered during his baggage check in Las Vegas.
