Pennsylvania Teenager Makes Bomb By Jackson Daughety
Summary: On Friday, the Pennsylvania Police arrested a 19 year old Russian man for possessing a bomb. Vladislav Miftakhov was caught with one pound of Atomized magnesium. When asked about it, he said he was going to use the explosives to blow things up in a field, and that he didn't intend to kill anyone. He was initially under suspicion for possession of pot.
Analysis:
This is pretty crazy that this guy could build a small number of explosives without anyone really noticing. Even if he only wanted to use them for his own enjoyment, I think it is wrong to let people have such dangerous things just laying around.

I agree, it's weird that he was able to buy all those supplies and make a bomb without it going noticed for so long. Hopefully he was being truthful about not wanting to kill people with it
