Pipe bomb handed back to passenger Skylar Murphy by airport guard:-
The device was in a camera bag, which Murphy says he placed there in February 2013 when he and and a friend made two pipe bombs.
They blew up one in a field. Murphy said he left the other one in his bag and forgot about it.
The device was about 15 centimetres long and five centimetres in diameter with screws at both sides. A three-metre-long fuse ran through the device, which was filled with gunpowder.
Reportedly, Murphy was told “You can keep it.”
Murphy insisted the guard take it.
He was then allowed to clear security and board a plane to Mexico where he was travelling with his family on a weeklong vacation.
