Arrest in LA airport ice explosions

Source: The AP

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An airport employee has been arrested in connection with dry ice explosions at Los Angeles International Airport.

A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation who wasn't authorized to speak publicly says 28-year-old Dicarlo Bennett, a Servisair employee, was arrested late Tuesday.

The official says Bennett allegedly took the dry ice from a plane and placed it in an employee restroom Sunday night and another device that was found on a tarmac outside the international terminal.

in my office we suspected a 40-year-old file clerk was the one who was causing the coffee machines to flood and spill over. It was never proven and he was eventually fired for other reasons. The coffee machines never flooded again, however.

…what if it's preparation for a terror attack? You know…a "dry-ice run."

A couple of moments of dubious fun is certainly worth several years in prison surrounded by hoodlums.

Read some reviews on the company, by employees. It was why I am no longer in the industry that I loved. Lousy pay, no benefits, and equipment that constantly broke down. They could never get enough good people to work, so they pushed us until we quit or screwed up because we were tired, overwhelmed, and in a hurry.

And, his courage to give the finger and figuratively moon the TSA Homeland Security Surveillance Apparatus.
