Explosive Materials Found in Man's Luggage at Orlando Airport- A man was detained Tuesday at Orlando International Airport carrying materials in his luggage that could have been used for an explosive device, the FBI said on Tuesday.
Jamaican national Kevin Brown, 32, planned to board Air Jamaica flight 80 to Jamaica, until he was questioned by airport authorities, the FBI said in a statement.
A subsequent search of Browns checked baggage by airport authorities revealed two galvanized pipes, end caps, two small containers containing BBs, batteries, two containers with an unknown liquid, laptop, and bomb making literature, according to the FBI.
U.S. Rep. John Mica, a Florida Republican who was briefed on the incident, said, "He did have within his luggage components of materials that could have been used for an explosive device."
Mica says Brown possessed "some components where some serious damage could be done."
“The outstanding thing about this is mechanisms which were put in place that were shifted out to a behavior analyses program. Based on the initial information I have is it appears that this worked very well in detecting someone who did pose a threat.”
Mica would not go so far as do call the incident a terrorist act. He did however say that it was very disturbing.
“From what I understand,” Mica said. “And what was described, if it’s confirmed, this posed a very serious threat to aviation security.”
