A 40 year old Pennsylvania man named ‘Mark Muffley’ was reportedly arrested on Monday by the FBI after Pennsylvania TSA found an explosive ‘circular compound’ in his checked bag. The device reportedly had two fuses and powder hidden in the lining of his bag. The “powder is suspected to be a mixture of flash powder and the dark granulars that are used in commercial grade fireworks,” the complaint said. The investigation into the suspect’s background is ongoing to better understand why he allegedly packed these materials, the sources said. While inspecting the baggage, a TSA officer “located an item inside the suitcase that appeared to be suspicious and was believed to possibly be a live explosive device,” the agency said.
