Wow...in today's day and age...you have to be REALLY stupid to try something like this...

Howard Fish was lectured by a judge and was freed on $75,000 bail. No further action was scheduled.
HOUSTON - A 21-year-old Lafayette College student who packed a stick of dynamite in his checked luggage on a flight to Houston from Argentina last week was granted bail yesterday on a federal charge of carrying an explosive aboard an aircraft.
The story has to do with the guy who bought the stick of dynamite originally buying it for some miners. I think it'd be a pretty funny play on words if he himself were a minor...but alas...he's just an idiot. It does however remind me of the scene from Meet the Parents:
Norm: I got a plane full of people saying you threatened that stewardess. Greg Focker: I was not threatening her. I was just trying to get my bag into the overhead storage thing... Norm: You were acting like a maniac and you threatened her with a bomb. Greg Focker: No, I said I didn't have a bomb. Norm: But you said bomb. Greg Focker: I said, "It's not like I have a bomb". Norm: You said "Bomb" on an airplane. Greg Focker: What's wrong with saying 'Bomb' on an airplane? Norm: You can't say 'Bomb' on an airplane! Greg Focker: Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb. You gonna arrest me? Bomb bomb bomb bomb! During the war I was a BOMBadier! Norm: You assaulted an airline employee and I oughta put you away for years!
