Sounds like a man was about to make some loud mischief in Plano last night - instead, he got the wrong end of an explosive charge:

Channel 5 just covered this story on the evening news. The story is that they are trying to identify the man and will get a warrant to search his house to see if there are any more "packages".

If he had put it under the gas pipes, it could have gotten real messy.

Wow... I live only a few blocks from there. Must've had the TV on too loud; I didn't hear a thing.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

I guess he didn't properly mark his IED with a "Front Toward Enemy."
