A college student who packed a stick of dynamite on a flight to Houston from Argentina was granted bond on a federal charge of carrying an explosive aboard an aircraft.
No future court appearances were scheduled for Howard MacFarland Fish, a 21-year-old junior majoring in biology at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Fish told authorities he got the dynamite as a souvenir during a tour of a mine in Bolivia.
“My son is a college student and a boy who would not hurt anyone,” Howard Fish of Connecticut said after signing his son’s $75,000 bond.
