I doubt the reporter listed everything they found in the bag. Probably just listed the items that might raise suspicion.

A lot of textbooks are now online; he did have laptop with him.
That being said, I think this was an initiation prank of some sort.

One can only note that there were no books or study
materials listed as being in his back pack...

a wire typically used to strangle someone called a garroteSo, was it a garrote, or a piece of wire? There's a difference.
Other than the handcuffs and maybe the M-100, you can probably find most all of those things in nearly everyone's houses.

When are these children going to realize they’re dealing with grown-ups who will put a bullet in their a$$ without hesitation? it’s time or playtime to stop. Grow up people. You lost. Hell we lost for 8 whole years. Deal with it.

Remember you're dealing with an infantile mind with no former military training. He probably assembled his kit from devices found in video games. He was too stupid to realize he'd be stopped by security if his intent was o actually harm Trump. I'm guessing he lives in a fantasy world with little interaction from his parents who probably run a business.

I vaguely remember some liberal in the late '90s writing in Suite101 was found dead in a staircase near a conservative political figure's office. He was dressed like a burglar, had broken in, hidden in the staircase with a large knife...I think he overdosed or something.
Tried to look it up but can't remember enough, I guess.
