Former Oklahoma City mayor Kirk Humphreys, a Republican, helped Charles Alfred Dreyling, 24, get out of jail last week after he was arrested carrying a pipe bomb into Will Rogers World Airport.

Dreyling told authorities that he had made the device and said it was “basically a pipe bomb,” according to an affidavit. Dreyling said he built the device for entertainment value, never intending to hurt anyone, and forgot that it was in his carryon bag when he brought it to the airport, the affidavit said.

Dreyling said he learned as a teenager how to build homemade explosives from Web sites like “The Anarchist’s Cook Book.” Dreyling said he has built and detonated several explosive devices for recreational purposes, according to the affidavit. — Airport Business

Humphreys testified at Dreyling’s court hearing.

Based in part on Humphreys’ testimony, Dreyling was released to the custody of his mother on $10,000 bail. If convicted, Dreyling faces up to 10 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.

Another right-wing proposal shown to be folly

I guess this suggests that if they had their way,they'd never bother good white people. Hell, no white person would ever do anything like those evil Muslims do.

Since 9-11, there's only been one case of actually finding someone with an explosive device trying to board an airplane.{other than "The Shoe Bomber"} The IED, or improvised explosive devise was in the possession of this swarthy Muslim, white guy, 24 year old Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr. who tried to board a plane for Philladelphia last Wednesday at Oklahoma City's Will Rodgers airport with the device in his luggage.



(not to mention good old Timmy McVeigh, and Eric Rudolph, both responsible for home-grown terrorism, and both lily white.)

We can only thank the stars that at least the looney right doesn't get all of their stupid idea put into practice.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A University of Oklahoma student was released on $10,000 bail Thursday after appearing in federal court to be formally accused of a felony for allegedly bringing a small explosive device into Will Rogers World Airport.

Humphreys said Dreyling had created a ''glorified firecracker'' and then forgotten that it was in his luggage.

''I have every confidence that they'll find out Charlie Dreyling is a fine young man and no terrorist.

''He had a little explosive device, and boys like to see things go bang. He took it down to an outing at the lake, left it in his bag, forgot it and went to the airport.''
