Not to question Mr. Starnes’ report but if the media's definition of “Weapons of Mass Destruction” is as loose as their definition of “Assault Weapons”, this kid could have had anything from an Atomic Bomb down to a couple of Cherry Bombs.
So as usual I think I will sit an wait for further reporting.

I’ve seen someone charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction and it was a shotgun. Seriously.

I was thinking the kid had built a device that would spread zits. He successfully tested it on himself and, once activated, would disable the entire twit world.

He must of had a Suitcase nuke.

That was my first thought, too. What is the definition of mass destruction? Is it 3 people or 30 or 300 or 3000? My definition is closer to the 3000 which would mean it was military grade and I highly doubt some pot smokin' teen would have anything like that stuffed into a bag.

Another question, is he really Chechen or at least have Chechen associations?

It is not just the media - the govt uses the term loosely at times, too. It could be some kind of explosive, or it could be a science project. We have to wait until Sunday to read it in the Altoona Mirror ;)
