They determined he wasn’t making a bomb and wasn’t a threat, but charge him for having what is essentially a strange watch? “bomb making materials”?
Our law enforcement authorities are becoming dangerous and out of control at virtually every level. I hope he can get good lawyers and sue someone’s ass off over this. Probably can’t/won’t happen though....
I agree. They determined he wasn’t a threat but charged him anyway because they didn’t “like” what he had on him.
Sounds like North Korea.
He'll be lucky if he's ever allowed to board an airplane again, not to mention anyone else in America who now finds themselves unfortunate enough to share the name Geoffrey McGann.
I read it that way,too. the charges were invented on the spot. There is no such law.Of course, when you are living in what is essentially a communist country, the law is what the arresting officer wants it to be. I’ve known two professional artists during my life, and both of them were a bit goofy in my opinion, but were not dangerous by any stretch.
All of these “possession” of bomb making materials charges are bogus.
