I can only imagine how big this story would get if this guy was found entering the US from Canada. Our Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) did a great job catching this guy. It again shows that CBSA officers are on the frontlines and need to be armed.
Chimo!

A U.S. man has been charged with possessing an explosive device after allegedly carrying a homemade pipe bomb in his truck on a ferry to Victoria.
Dodge Chichester White, a 39-year-old from the Seattle area, was stopped when he arrived in the capital on Tuesday night after taking the Coho ferry from Port Angeles, Wash.

Canadian Border Security Agency officers said they became suspicious while questioning White, who was travelling with his daughter.
They said they examined his truck and found a suspicious device in the glove box - a 7 ½-centimetre brass pipe that was capped on each end and had a 15-centimetre green fuse-like string glued to one end.
They arrested White, secured the ferry terminal and called in the Victoria police.
A photo of the device was sent to the RCMP bomb squad in Vancouver, who advised their colleagues to put it in a secure container designed to hold explosives.
The RCMP Explosives Team was to travel to Victoria on Wednesday to examine the device and dispose of it.
White, who lives in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, was to appear in court in Victoria on Wednesday afternoon facing a charge of possession of an explosive device.
