A Bethesda teenager pleaded guilty to a felony explosives charge Wednesday, admitting that he had chemicals, switches and igniters in his bedroom that readily could be made into a bomb. "We cannot know for certain what Collin McKenzie-Gude would have done if law enforcement had not acted," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "What we know for certain is that he made and exploded pipe bombs and had the components to build new explosive devices."
The plea was the latest step in a case that captured national attention last year after Montgomery County officials said a map of Camp David, marked with the presidential motorcade route, was also found in McKenzie-Gude's room. At the plea hearing, federal prosecutors indicated that McKenzie-Gude, now 19, was planning to use the materials for "another felony offense." Prosecutors could detail what the plans were at McKenzie-Gude's sentencing hearing, set for Jan. 7.
Prosecutors are seeking at least five years in prison.
McKenzie-Gude also faces sentencing in a separate case in Montgomery County, based on his earlier guilty plea to attempted carjacking. A little more than a year ago, he attacked a 78-year-old man while trying to steal the man's Geo Prizm outside White Flint Mall on July 29, 2008, the same day officers searched his bedroom, according to authorities.

He tried to steal a Geo Prizm?
The insanity defense should work just fine.
It's a fair bet that the kid is a child of privilege.
If he went to Sidwell Friends, it's a lock.
Swing the little so and so, would be my recommended.
Obviously, being a poor, disenfranchised minority drove him to domestic terrorism.
Gude ? There was a very liberal RINO that represented this district in Congress in the ‘70s by the name of Gilbert Gude.
Gilbert Gude. As in Gude (pronounced goudy) Drive up 355 a bit? Same family I’ll bet.
May very well be a relative, that’s not a common name, and it’s the same county he hailed from, so even more a possibility.
Gude is an old Montgomery County name. Gilbert Gude was Congressman from there for years in the fifties/sixties.
