Pipe bomb handed back to passenger Skylar Murphy by airport

[*BlackFox]

A Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) guard who seized a pipe bomb from a man at Edmonton International Airport tried to give it back to him, CBC News has learned.

Skylar Vincent Murphy, 18, of Spruce Grove, Alta., was allowed to get on a flight at Edmonton International Airport on Sept. 20 after he was caught with a pipe bomb by security. According to details that came out in court, the CATSA guard was caught on video pushing the device back to Murphy. Reportedly, Murphy was told “You can keep it.”

Murphy insisted the guard take it. He was then allowed to clear security and board a plane to Mexico where he was travelling with his family on a weeklong vacation.

The device was in a camera bag, which Murphy says he placed there in February 2013 when he and and a friend made two pipe bombs.

What really puzzles me is why the guard would tell him to keep the pipe bomb. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense!

That being said, I've read that the dude with the pipe bomb (Skylar Murphy) has said that the way the news media has covered and explained the story isn't all true.

Typical Canadians

"Oh, sorry for inconveniencing you by taking your pipe bomb, here have it back. Sorry again. Sorry."

There is probably more to this highly questionable report...I can't see an airport agent trying to give back what appears to be a bomb unless this agent has some sort of agenda or has gone mentally ill.....
