On Monday at about 8:30 PM an LAX employee walked upon a plastic bottle that was fizzing on the tarmac at Tom Bradley International Terminal. LAPD was called in and secured the area. The plastic bottle filled with dry ice had not exploded. The same employee reported that he had spotted a similar device on Sunday but did not realize what it was. 

Police focused their attention onto airport employees as both bombs were located in secure areas not accessible to the public. LAX airport spokeswoman Nancy Suey Castles said “to get access to where the dry ice explosions occurred you would need an employee badge”. 

Bennett is being held on a $1 million bond and faces a charge of possession of explosive or destructive devices at an airport and near an aircraft. LAPD Deputy Chief Michael Downing who heads the department's counter terrorism and special operations bureau said anyone of the 20 once plastic bottles containing dry ice could have cause serious injury to anyone in close proximity.
