BOSTON Skip Pile, chairman of communications consultancy Pile and Co., was arrested yesterday at Logan International Airport here and charged with possessing and transporting a “hoax device” after a security screener found an inert, World War II-era grenade in his laptop computer case during an X-ray search.
The grenade was deemed to be harmless upon inspection.
Pile was arraigned in East Boston District Court and released without bail. A pretrial hearing is set for March 27. If convicted, he faces 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
