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.

    In conversations on this site, I have found out lots of ways that language does in fact depend on the speaker's location: Differences among English speakers on various continents and in various groups can sometimes be surprising.

    The only other language I speak, Spanish, is even more varied despite having a "royal academy" nudging it along (for example, a word can mean "catch" or "get" one place and be an unprintable expletive in others).

    But for all that, I am pretty sure that lie and lay are universal constructs, "lie" meaning to repose (or tell a falsehood), and "lay" being something you do to someone or something else to place or put them/it somewhere. Thus, an inanimate object can't "lay" anything, but it can "lie there".

    I was really just poking fun at your search-engine-links and how the results for one person in one location can be totally unlike the results for another person in another location. But I admit I might have overdone the subtlety a bit.
