Explosive Device Found at MacDill Air Force Base

It’s not every day you find a bomb near a US military base, but that’s exactly what happened at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida last week. An alleged improvised explosive device was discovered near the visitors center, because what’s a tourist trap without a little danger?

Charges Filed

Two people have been charged in connection with the device, according to the FBI. It’s unclear what their motives were, but it’s safe to say they won’t be winning any awards for ‘best use of free time’.

The incident has raised questions about security at the base, but officials say they’re taking it seriously. Because, you know, bombs are no laughing matter.
