Pennsylvania man arrested after allegedly trying to bring explosives in his suitcase on flight

A Pennsylvania man was arrested by federal agents after he allegedly tried to bring explosives in his suitcase on his flight. According to court documents, Marc Muffley checked his luggage on a flight bound for Orlando from Lehigh Valley International Airport and an alarm alerted that his baggage contained explosives. TSA agents paged Muffley over the airport intercom system and asked him to report to a security desk, prosecutors said, but he did not show up. A former Lansford, Pennsylvania police chief who authorities consulted before arresting Muffley said “there’s nothing that would light up and say, ‘Hey, this guy’s gonna try to bomb an aircraft.’” Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe tells Anderson Cooper what stands out to him about the items found in Muffley’s bag.
