But that's not what he said. Why did his story go like this:
He told authorities at Boston's Logan International Airport that he was one a business trip and that the devices -- tubes about 1.5 inches long -- were artist crayons, U.S. attorney Michael Sullivan said.
Sullivan said Almohandis then said he did not know what they were or how they got in his backpack, which he told authorities was his only piece of luggage. He also told investigators his wife had packed his bag.
