Kevin Christopher Brown, the 32-year-old Jamaican taken into custody on Tuesday at the Orlando International Airport for trying to board a plane with a luggage full of bomb-making materials explained to the authorities that the only reason for carrying those components was to show his friends back home how to make a bomb and the reason he knows the bomb-making procedure is because he has seen it first hand in Iraq.

The above explanation is the second one, after first explaining that he was going to detonate the materials on a tree stump in Jamaica.

Brown joined the Army in June 1999 and was discharged in December 2003, said Army spokesman Maj. Nathan Banks, according to the Associated Press. Brown was stationed in Germany and was most recently a logistical specialist with the 690th Medical Company based in Fort Benning, Ga., Banks said.

FBI agents are now trying to determine whether the suspect ever went to Iraq. Also a complete psychological evaluation is being carried out in order to know the direction of the investigation.

A statement was given to the Associated Press by the FBI officials on the content of the bag: "two galvanized pipes, end caps, two small containers containing BB's, batteries, two containers with an unknown liquid, laptop, and bomb-making literature."

The arrest on Tuesday was possible thanks to the behavior detection officers which are part of a upgrading airport security program introduced in 2003.

Even though passengers were evacuated from the airport terminal and 11 flights were delayed, Air Jamaica’s executive director declared that the items found in Kevin Brown’s luggage could not have caused an explosion and the plane, passengers and airport weren’t, at any moment, in any real danger.
