Scott McGann, the man who allegedly brought a fake bomb (made of batteries and wires) to Laguardia Airport last Saturday and caused a lot of chaos, was indicted on charges of placing a false bomb and making a terrorist threat. He is currently being held at the psych ward at Bellevue, but the Daily News reports, "He will be arraigned Aug. 18 if he's found mentally competent. His family says he suffers from catatonic schizophrenia."
An earlier News story revealed that McGann had been released without bail by a judge just seven weeks earlier. In June, McGann was arrested after an incident where he ran into the Manhattan Criminal Court and grabbed papers out of a lawyer's hands. The court told the News, "He was released because he was not, at the time, a threat to himself or others."
McGann, a California native who has reportedly been living on the streets of Manhattan for the past year, is a computer/technology consultant. THe Post says, at the time of his arrest this past weekend, he was found with a "hand-drawn schematic for a time machine... The paper confiscated from McGann contained drawings of a bald man's head, with the words 'Age at 17' above him and the phrases 'John Doe' and 'Lifespan 35 years' below him. The ballpoint pen illustrations also show a downward arrow pointing at the word 'Time,' several other arrows pointing at the words 'Dimension 1,' 'Dimension 2,' and 'Dimension 3.'"

I don't care, he's hot. I'd do him.
Can I get the specs on that time machine?
He should have stayed in "Dimension 4".
I'd like to see his take on the Time Cube.
the beautiful ones are always crazy
As a SW inpatient Psyc, I am so very sorry for him and his family. May God guide him gently through the days ahead, help him get the correct diagnosis, treatment and grant him the grace to cope with the side effects of all the meds his will need. Land softly my friend.
I for one am very disappointed in the media over this story. Who can honestly say he was going in with a bomb? Did no one think it could have been a flux capacitor and the plane on the runway was the only place in NYC where he could get up to 88 mph?

Funny, but still a good point. He was arrested for having a fake bomb, but I haven't seen any indication that he ever said it was a bomb. All he did, if I'm correct, is push a button when he was confronted -- the cop assumed that meant bomb. But he McGann could have been thinking time travel, or teleportation, or something.
Obviously he is not right in the head. Hopefully he gets the help he needs but at the same time he upset the airport, everyone using it to get where they are going, the neighborhood because nobody could drive into the airport so they had to unload in the surrounding neighborhood and walk, and probably travelers around the country because of the flight delays caused by this. Maybe he should write everyone that was affected by this an apology letter before he is released. That should take a bit of time.
