How stupid does one have to be to put a stick of dynamite in one's luggage? That makes me wonder how good the security is in Argentina to let that slip by. I wonder if the jihadists might be trying to sneak stuff on flights to America from various countries, trying to find out if country X has poor security. If they know that country X has poor security, they could send a bomber aboard an America-bound flight.
Update: It was "half a stick" of dynamite. He is charged with unlawfully carrying an explosive on an airliner. No bail for now, court appearance on Monday. Possible 0-10 years on a conviction for that. "They" will not disclose what the other unlawful contraband was that was found in his checked baggage.
