The incident happened here in Oklahoma where I live. The former Mayor of Oklahoma City Kirk Humphrey stated in the local news that this is a kid 98% of America would have as their son. The "pipe bomb" was a CO2 cartridge with gun powder. To me this is a tougher issue to judge than just reading the surface. While I ask what kind of idiot could he be after 9/11 to not check all his bags before going to the airport, the "pipe bomb" had no shrapnel or detonator's with it. I do think you are right David in that some of it probably had to do with his relationship to the former mayor, but I also think the circumstances played in his favor as well. Part of me says throw him in jail for a while for being an idiot and the other part says, maybe he just made a mistake. The part I don't buy is that the former mayor says he is a good kid and no harm, no foul. I say that the terrorist play the part of the good citizen right before they kill those around them.
