The Clearwater man pleads guilty, saying he had forgotten about the box cutter.Let me guess: this is a punk who worships Islam. Right? If anything, he's the kind of person who has the gall to use "racial discrimination" as his defense, and attempts to present the Koran in a trivial manner. Ick.
The X-ray image of a box cutter inside Benjamin Baines Jr.'s backpack caught the attention of federal officers Sunday morning at Tampa International Airport.

Another TSA officer found the tool inside a “compartment” within the book. Baines told officers he cut out the pages to keep marijuana and money from being stolen by roommates. Inside the backpack were the Koran and Bible and the books Muhammad in the Bible, The Noble Quran and The Prophet’s Prayer.
At an initial hearing Monday, Hillsborough court records show, Baines pleaded guilty to the concealed weapons charge. He wasn’t represented by an attorney, said Butler. TSA and airport officers charged him because “he was black and carrying the Koran,” he said.
