commercial grade firework." they say it had multiple fuses attached, one designed to ignite quickly. the suitcase also containing "a can of butane, a lighter, a pipe with white powder residue, a wireless drill with cordless batteries, and two electrical outlets taped together with black tape." law enforcement believes the device "posed a significant risk to the aircraft and passengers." according to the fbi, once the device was discovered, muffley was paged over the airport's p.a. system, and told to report to the security office. instead, they say he left the airport. he was taken into custody soon after. >> all this very alarming. let's bring in trevor ault. live at the airport in allentown, pennsylvania, tonight. i know the suspect tonight charged with bringing an explosive to the airport and attempting to place it on the plane? >> reporter: that's right, david. and mark muffley is set to make his first appearance in court tomorrow. we are still waiting to find out what his motive might have been for allegedly trying to sneak that explosive device onto that plane, david. >> trevor ault leading us off tonight from pennsylvania. trevor, thank you. we turn now to that horrific
