A Californian man who allegedly threatened to blow up Lambert Airport, St. Louis on 6 March has been charged with making a terroristic threat.

The man, aged 48, was arrested after he approached a security checkpoint and allegedly told a National Guard soldier and a security supervisor that he was a Vietnam veteran and was there "to blow the place up." Police found no weapons or explosives on the man and officials do not believe that he was an airline passenger.

The man was jailed on USD5,000 bond, reported The Associated Press.
