Geoffrey McGann, 49, is an artist and the creative director of a
media production company called Generator Content. It appears that he
was too creative for those folks at TSA. The California artist was
arrested at Oakland International Airport because security officers did
not like his unusual watch which they said looked too much like a timing
device for a bomb. The watch had ornate switches, wires, and fuses so
the bomb squad was called and the security checkpoint shutdown. Even
after the bomb squad determined it was not a bomb within five minutes,
however, McGann was arrested and charged by Alameda County Sheriff’s
Department with possessing materials to make an explosive device.
McGann repeatedly explained the watch was a piece of art but it turns
out that a bomb is in the eye of a TSA beholder. The police also noted
that he appeared to have made alterations to his boots, which were
unusually large and stuffed with layers of insoles. Sort of like an
artist or someone with bad feet (or an artist with bad feet) would do.
The police also noted that he had no extra clothes for the trip.
