FBI agents had built a dummy device and the public was never in danger. The case follows other U.S. plots including a Times Square scheme.

Stacey, a 22 year old Lawrence resident, was fired days after an inpatient stay for bipolar disorder. She suspects the move was due to her illness. The Kansas Human Rights Commission is investigating, noting that hundreds of disability based complaints arise annually.
