Somewhat bizarre airport + pressure cooker + detailed visitor story coming out of Detroit.

This is an odd story:

Federal agents arrested a Saudi Arabian traveler who arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with a pressure cooker, a key component used in the Boston Marathon bombings last month.

Hussain Al Kwawahir will be arraigned at 1 p.m. in federal court for allegedly using an altered passport and lying to a Customs and Border Protection Agent about the pressure cooker.

To the point where I’m wondering whether there’s something else going on.

PS: It is not my intent to critique unsuccessful attempts to blow up portions of my country – if that is what this is – so I won’t point out the obvious flaws in the suggested scenario.
