Bomb Plot Foiled at Orlando Airport

kevin_brown_jamaican_bomber.jpgI'm thinking the oops, I just forgot to take the pipe-bomb out of my luggage excuse isn't going to fly.

Orlando's Local 6:

A Jamaican man behavior specialists spotted acting suspiciously was detained and arrested after components used to make pipe bombs, unknown liquids and bomb-making literature were found in his luggage at Orlando International Airport....

During a search of [Kevin] Brown's luggage, airport authorities found two galvanized pipes, end caps, two small containers containing BBs, batteries, two containers with an unknown liquid and bombing making literature, FBI officials said.

So the question remains whether or not he had the ingredients to complete the pipe-bomb in flight, presumably what the instructions were for; or is this just some nut?

What's the over-under on Brown having recently changed his name to Yousef al-Jihad?
