A man was detained yesterday after trying to go through a security checkpoint at a Texas airport with explosives in military-grade wrapping.
The man was stopped at a security checkpoint at the Midland International Airport and taken into custody.
The Transportation Security Administration said one of its officers spotted a suspicious item in a carry-on bag during x-ray screening.
An American Airlines spokesman said the man had a reservation on Flight 3283 from Midland to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
