Talk about a myriad of odd items. Who knows what was going through his head

He's a busy man..

Only crime was the smoke bomb. Everything else should have been good to go in checked baggage.

So he found a few good deals he couldn't pass up while in Asia. He would surely win our Walmart contest! Strange items in his luggage i can agree but other than the smoke grenade who really cares? Should any of the other items be of concern for the stated purpose of protecting air travel? Are any of them restricted by law? Can handcuffs and knives now magically autonomously collude to bring down an airliner from within the cargo hold? Perhaps they were smart knives that could be remotely operated by cell phone? Another thing, he is not cooperating? So he is asserting his 5th amendment right to keep his mouth shut after being harrassed for items in his checked luggage that are not illegal? I'd keep my mouth shut too, you know they at fishing for any detail they can use against him to screw him.

So he got into some kink while working in Japan and decided to bring back souvenirs, the Japanese authorities saw nothing to alarm them and let him fly.......here, he's 8am news.

Body armor on an airplane is about as usefull as a screen door on a submarine. I would check him out if I was a TSA agent.
