"...military pull-type fuses...and a hand grenade fuse assembly with detonator.

He might be in a lot of trouble with the military, too, depending on where those came from. Marines and soldiers are not allowed to leave ranges with those "military pull-type fuses" (igniters, apparently) or detonators of any kind. But once in a while, out of millions, one ate-up troopie will try it.

Wait a minute! The report said the material was in his CHECKED baggage! Isn’t that where it’s supposed to be? Why was he arrested then?

“And, let’s face it, an awful lot of TSA screeners aren’t exactly out of the Norman Rockwell gallery. But the MSM will never criticize that kind of thing.”

Except when the TSA is “profiling” flying Imans, et al.

Naturally. A lot of TSA screeners are members of the Imams congregations.

Somethings is rotten in Denmark, My.
These screeners are a PIA.
On a flight to Arizona, they took my mascara beacuse it was in a METAL TUBE..
Like I’m gonna do some damage with that?
They took my make-up too, I told them to wear it in good health.
While they were farting around doing this, I missed my flight, and the airline charged me 50 bucks to catch another plane that was leaving 15 minutes later.

The article targets the Marine, not the screeners in Las Vegas. What does that tell you?

Tells me we're knee-deep in Boston-Bias journalism.

WHICH ONE IS THE AMERICA-HATING TERRORIST?

Davis said TSA was "actively investigating" why the gun and explosive materials were not detected during the screening in Las Vegas.

TSA is playing CYA by charging this Marine with 'posession of a concealed weapon.'

Yeah, I know!
Aren’t they charging extra for baggage now, too?

"Reed was charged with possession of an infernal machine..."

infernal = hell or the underground. Was he carrying Satan's pitchfork?

He had a couple of checked bags and one of them accidentally ended up in the luggage carousel.

Because that mistake was made, the bag had to be screened before it was put back on the plane.

This has to be a set-up. Luggage does not get to a carousel in quick time these days. Luggage that does get to a carousel will just go round and round for a looooong time before anyone notices that it was misplaced. Unless this Marine had a long layover in Boston, there was no way that his luggage could have been put “back on the plane.”
