A Rhode Island man was arrested after trying to board a Jet Blue flight from Puerto Rico to Boston with "a stun gun, a pepper spray canister, four box cutters, and a switch blade knife." TSA screening noticed the items in Jose Pol's carry-on, and found "two lighters, six batteries, a button device attached to a wire that gives a charge when pressed, a flight simulator program, scissors, three boxes of matches, and New York city information cards" in his other bags.
Pol, who could face up to ten years in prison if convicted of attempting to board the plane with concealed weapons, remains in custody as the FBI investigates. However, his son says his dad is just a "packrat." Last week, a passenger was detained in Cairo for weapons in his checked baggage.
