A 46-year-old man is facing federal charges accusing him of leaving a jar filled with explosives at a North Carolina airport as part of a war he pledged to fight on U.S. soil.

Michael Christopher Estes was arrested October 7 and charged with attempted malicious use of explosive materials and unlawful possession of explosive materials in an airport, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

The improvised explosive device, or IED, was found inside a jar at the Asheville Regional Airport about 7 a.m. on October 6, the FBI said in the complaint. Bomb technicians from the Asheville Police Department rendered the device safe. The baggage claim and lobby area of the airport were evacuated and shut down for about 2 hours. No one was injured.

    Do you know that the genetic distance between a man and a woman is higher that the genetical distance between a black and a white of the same sex?

    And still... we allow people to identify with whatever gender they want, right?

    So why not allow them identify with whatever race they think they belong?
    After all, "race reassignment therapy" should be much easier and less prone to medical risks (oops, there goes a business idea)

    And she raised that same argument.

    There is no 'white' gene. There IS a males gene.

    If those with the male gene can 'identify' as female, and we take that seriously and treat them as female, then why on earth can't she simply 'identify' as black?

    So why not?

      To pick a nit, its a chromosome, [google.com] made up of a whole bunch of genes.
