Strange news, strange news

Man arrested in BWI threatsNow here's what's strange about it: we know George Spicka. We met him through Mensa, and discovered that he's a fellow musician - a professional jazz performer and composer. We eat lunch with George regularly. We've had him over to our house. We've been to his concerts at the Baltimore Jazz Composers' Showcase. George is a nice guy. What the heck is going on here?? No one else from our Mensa group seems to know, either, though the phone lines have been buzzing. ???

A 59-year-old man was arrested yesterday afternoon at his home near Woodlawn and charged with e-mailing a pair of bomb threats hours earlier to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Maryland Transportation Authority Police reported.
The threats -- which did not result in any flight delays -- were sent about 7:45 a.m. to an e-mail address that appears on the Web site of an agency at the airport by someone using an "anonymous remailer" and the name "George Orwell," police said.
Transportation authority detectives arrested George F. Spicka at his home in the 3000 block of Betlou James Place and were planning to obtain search warrants, said Cpl. Jonathan Green.
