On March 31, 2011, Thomas Maccabee was charged with assault, aggravated reckless conduct and terrorizing. Maccabee was arrested after threatening to blow up a Cyr bus he had boarded in Maine, stating that he wanted to be taken to the Canadian border where he could then demand asylum from the Israeli consulate in Ottawa.  He brandished what appeared to be a bomb and a detonator.

The driver took the bus to Houlton, its original destination, and he and the seven passengers got off.  After a nine hour standoff, Maccabee surrendered.  While not a GameBoy, like the recent rash of fake bombs, Maccabee’s bomb was made up of a simple spiral notebook, duct tape and some random video gaming console parts.

Maccabee is 50 years old, leaving us to only speculate what console he may have used.  Read the rest of the article here.
