He tried to bring a pipe bomb on board a commercial aircraft. I don’t care if he said he was from Mars and this is a Martian suppository, it was an attempt to bring a bomb on board an aircraft. By definition that makes him a major threat to the crew and passengers. Was it for a political purpose? Can you read minds? Can you be 100% certain that he was telling the truth?
Perhaps you missed this quote from the article you provided the link from;
Officials discounted the idea that Nobles was involved in a terrorist plot and he said he meant no harm.
.
Clearly people higher than your pay grade agreed there was no threat. What this makes him is an idiot, not a terrorist.
