What did I tell you? Very Happy 

And wouldn't it be amusing to find out that the block of C4 travelled to Midland in the carry-on, as well (as in, TSA missed it the first time)?

He managed to fly not once, but TWICE, with that C4 in his baggage. And they even stopped him in NC because there was a smoke grenade in there (another leftover from Afghanistan). They confiscated the smoke grenade, scolded him, and sent him on his way... with two blocks of C4.

This bolsters my belief that TSA is inept, and isn't going to save us from anything.

Soldier denies knowing of explosives in plane bag

MIDLAND, Texas (AP) - A soldier charged with trying to bring explosives on an airplane in Texas told investigators he used them in Afghanistan but didn't realize any were in a bag he brought back to the U.S. and apparently carried on a flight from North Carolina to Texas.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

I don't know. I don't trust TSA any farther than I can throw them one-handed. They are evidence that government contracts go to the lowest bidder, IMO.

While I find it weird to accidentally have a block of C4 in one's bag, I suppose it's possible. That's why when I travel, I always clean out the bags before packing - every compartment, every pocket. And wouldn't it be amusing to find out that the block of C4 travelled to Midland in the carry-on, as well (as in, TSA missed it the first time)?

I know several people who have gone through security only to find a stray (unfired) round of ammunition in their bag. Of course, this causes a complete circus at the security gate.
