A man was arrested after an explosive was found in a bag checked onto a Florida-bound flight at an eastern Pennsylvania airport, federal authorities said.
Marc Muffley, 40, is charged with possessing an explosive in an airport and possessing or attempting to place an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft, according to a criminal complaint.
After an alert during security screening, the bag was examined and found hidden in the lining was a "circular compound" about three inches in diameter encased in a wax-like paper and clear plastic wrap. Attached to it was a "quick fuse" similar to a candle wick -- apparently part of the original manufacture of the compound -- as well as a "hobby fuse" that burns more slowly and appeared to have been added after the manufacture, authorities said.
