Arizona Nuclear Plant on Lockdown

Phoenix headlines Drudge...

Security officials at the nation's largest nuclear power plant detained a contract worker with a small explosive device in the back of his pickup truck Friday, authorities said.

The worker was stopped and detained at the entrance of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, said U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Victor Dricks. Security officials then put the nuclear station on lockdown, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the facility.

Authorities described the device as a small capped pipe that contained suspicious residue.

What the heck? Okay TRN what is your theory? Can we just chalk this up to stupid man?

From the article it seems it is just a crappy pipebomb. I dont know what he plans on doing with a single pipe bomb but certainly, we arent talking Three Mile Island here.
