Does Fake LaGuardia Bomber Have Ties To Penn?

Yesterday morning Scott McGann tried to board a United Airlines flight bound for Chicago at New York's LaGuardia Airport...with a fake bomb in his bag. McGann, who officials say was "highly intoxicated," was immediately arrested and ordered to receive a psychiatric evaluation.

As if this wasn't alarming enough, an eagle-eyed tipster clued us in to a disturbing fact: McGann was photographed wearing a College House t-shirt at the time of the incident. The shirt celebrates the 10th anniversary of campus-wide College Houses, which occurred this past school year. It is unclear what the 32-year-old's connection is to Penn, as a Penn Directories search and a dig through the DP archives turned up nothing.
