August 11, 2005 | Screeners ID IED

In what seems to be a post-9/11 first, Transportation Security Administration screeners stopped a man from boarding a plane with a homemade bomb.

A Norman, Okla., man with an explosive device hidden in his carry-on baggage was caught by Transportation Security Administration screeners as he tried to enter Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City on Wednesday morning.

Bryon Okada's story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is here (reg. required, try bugmenot).

The FBI arrested Charles Dreyling Jr., 24, but do not think he is associated with a terrorist group, according to Okado.

Kudos to the screeners for catching the IED.
