And TSA didn’t stop it
“bomb” that exploded prior to being loaded on a plane was a bunch of primers:
A man has been arrested after FBI and TSA officials said his luggage contained volatile gun parts, which caused his bag to explode Tuesday just before it was about to be loaded on a plane.
The unidentified 37-year-old man had 500 to 700 bullet primers in his luggage. Primers are considered the “spark plugs” of a bullet and ignites the gun powder, projecting it toward the intended target.
Officials originally said the exploding bag was caused by a hairspray aerosol can.
Doesn’t look intentional.

The brillant media (even Fox) is calling the primers ‘bullet parts’!

I wonder just how rough the baggage handlers had to be to set off the primers, assuming they were in the normal boxes.

At least it wasn’t flying United.
United breaks guitars.

What kind of idiot packs primers in their bags on an INTERNATIONAL flight?

That’s not too bad. One story called them “blasting caps”!
