Here is the bottom line, they are trying to charge him under the hoax bomb statute which is....
(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, transports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to:
(1) make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device; or
(2) cause alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.
The problem is he never claimed it was a bomb, and denied it was a bomb when asked. Anything could look like a bomb, but if there is no intent to present it that way then there is no way he meets the criteria for this. It's a joke that they even want to act like he did something mildly wrong, when it is obvious they over reacted based on profiling him.
