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.

How the hell are these convictions allowed to stand? We had a case here where the RCMP found a couple of dissatisfied junkies, coached them, gave them pressure cookers etc, bus and ferry fare, eventually threatened, and then busted them. While they were convicted (they obviously were attempting to blow stuff up), the conviction was shortly overturned due to it being obvious entrapment. We're talking people who couldn't get it together to take the bus across town, little well implement a terrorist attack.
