A source told the Journal there is a video of security officials flagging the device — described as a “a six-inch steel pipe containing gunpowder with 4 ½ feet of fuse from either end” — then attempting to give it back to 18-year-old Skylar Murphy.

The source, who has seen a video of the incident, said security officers can be seen pushing the device back to Murphy in an attempt to return it to him. According to reports, an officer told Murphy “You can keep it.”

Murphy insisted he did not want the device and eventually proceeded through security without it on his way to a one-week family vacation in Mexico.
