Police arrested a man Sunday who tried to pass through Indianapolis International Airport security wearing body armor and carrying a pellet gun. Carlos M. Delay, 19, Indianapolis, was arrested on an initial charge of disorderly conduct at an airport, according to an Airport Police Department report.

Delay, 3900 block of East 31st Street, told officers he wore the vest and carried the gun for protection while he escorted his mother and cousin to their flight. Airport police Chief Bill Reardon said Delay told police he wanted to have some protection at the airport in case there were terrorist threats.

Delay was charged with disorderly conduct for the commotion the incident caused, Reardon said.

He spent five hours in custody and one hour in a police lock-up at the airport before being released.

1. If they check out his home it is wrapped in plastic and taped up with duct

tape I am sure...BOO gee ya scared...time to lock ya up....BOO gee you ain't scared...time to lock ya up!

2. Obviously, someone who reacts to their fear-mongering in a pro-active

way must be an undesirable.

3. How come he needed body armor but his mother and his cousin didn't?

6. More importantly...

...what was he planning on doing with the "pellet gun?"

It would be pretty useless if any "real" terrorists showed up.

4. Talk about overdoing the "tin-foil hat" theory!

5. No body armor for the mother and cousin? What a prince!

I could be wrong, but he looks like a young man who spends waaaaay too much time playing video games.
