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.

    Otherwise, you could get a zero-cost MRI of your brain and it would be apparent if your problem[1] is organic--or just a willingness to accept bad "information" from untrustworthy sources.

    Like anyone is going to pay for that.

    So locked into the status quo|status quo ante that you can't grasp UNIVERSAL ZERO-COST HEALTHCARE.

      There is no such thing as zero-cost health care. Even the complete absence of health care has a cost. It looks like you're claiming that this is health care where you don't pay a copayment or anything else. It's a stupid idea because it encourages health care consumption which still costs the public money, it just costs them money through taxes rather than direct payments.

      It's done in all civilized countries.

      No, it's not.
