The explosive was discovered Monday by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel after the man’s luggage set off an alarm at Lehigh Valley International Airport.
“The device was detected during a routine check of hold baggage,” the TSA said in a statement. After examining the circular device installed in the lining of a suitcase, the federal police determined that it was a powdered explosive, similar to that used in fireworks, according to the legal complaint published on the website Axios.
