As noted here a couple of days ago, the Transportation Security Administration caught a 24-year-old Oklahoma man trying to sneak an improvised bomb onto a plane.
Charles A. Dreyling Jr.says he forgot about the bomb, which was made using gunpowder and a used CO2 canister, and that it was just a thing he and his buddies liked to explode for fun.
Dreyling is now out on $10,000 bail, according to this USA Today story, and is free to return to classes at Oklahoma University.
What does a student who ,at best, forgot about a IED in his backpack before boarding a plane major in?
Yeah, you saw this coming.
Aviation Management.
Something tells me that in the age of background checks, Dreyling ought to change his major.
If he changes his tune about his intentions, he could even maybe transfer to UC Santa Cruz's History of Consciousness Program and study with Angela Davis.
