Explosions at LAX airport.

Dry ice bombs? Chemistry never was my favourite subject, so how does ‘dry ice’ explode? :confused:

Then again i wonder, what is the bail set for detonating a firecracker, in other words an “explosive device” at an airport. By no means a smart thing to do, but you have to consider if this is a overreaction by the police. He has already made sure he has lost his security clearance, thereby his job. I say, leave it at that.

An arrest has been made…suspect is a baggage handler who thought the simple bombs were “a game” and “a funny kind of joke”.

“I think he was surprised because now he is in jail on a million dollars bail. But this is serious. And when you place a destructive device near an airplane, it bumps up the seriousness” Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Michael Downing said.

I guess he’s not laughing now.:stupid:

My guess is it was mixed with something super hot?
