Edmonton International Airport: Skylar Murphy

Skylar Murphy: It took four days until Sept. 24, 2013 before airport security officials in Edmonton realized they had obtained a pipe bomb, with an attached nearly three-metre long fuse, from the 18-year-old Murphy of Spruce Grove, Alta. , according to Huffington Post. The RCMP said they acted immediately once they were told about the pipe bomb. But the Mounties decided to allow Murphy to finish holidaying with his family in Mexico before arresting him on his return to Edmonton on Sept. 27. The RCMP say they alerted all appropriate authorities, including Mexican airport officials, about Canadian teenager Skylar Murphy, who had been allowed to board a flight to Mexico after surrendering to security a pipe bomb at Edmonton International Airport. Security screeners had not recognized the device was a pipe bomb and had actually tried to return it to Murphy. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
