Twin Cities International in the news again

Last week was an active news week at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. First we had the flying Imams. The less reported story (nationally) is one that is, to me, a little more concerning.

"A bomb-like device was found in a rental car Sunday morning at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, shutting down part of the Lindbergh terminal parking ramps for about two hours."

Bloomington police disposed of the device without incident and the FBI tracked down the renter of the vehicle in question.

"FBI agents interviewed the man who rented the car after he arrived on the West Coast on Sunday. He said that the device was not a bomb and that he didn't mean to leave it behind, said Pat Hogan, airport spokesman."

Excuse me??? You have shrapnel in your rental car, why??? If you didn't "mean" to leave the device in the car, just where did you "mean" to leave it? In your hotel room? How did you expect to get bomb materials onto an airplane? Did you "mean" to leave it on the plane?

Something about this guy's excuse just doesn't ring right.
