National security correspondent Mike Brooks joins with us the latest -- Mike.</s>MIKE BROOKS, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Well, Suzanne, yesterday the FBI and Transportation Security Administration officials say that they were able to find a 20-year-old North Carolina student that actually put these devices onto Southwest Airline planes. These planes, one was headed from Orlando to New Orleans, the other one from Austin, Texas, to Houston. Now, these were two -- these were put into lavatories in plastic bags. It -- there was a suntan lotion bottle containing bleach, some Play-Do (ph)-like material, and also box cutters.</s>MALVEAUX: Very serious matter.</s>BROOKS: Very serious matter. And apparently he was trying to test this TSA security checkpoints. He said this in the e-mail. And that's how they were able to track him down, because he basically left a trail. So how long ago did he put these in there? We don't know. A source told me yesterday that these items were placed in the lavatory in areas that are not normally searched during an airport or an airline security sweep of the plane.</s>MALVEAUX: Do we know why he did this? Do we have any idea of motive?</s>BROOKS: It looks like right now motive. One source told me he said he was trying to help. So it looks like he was actually trying to test the security system. But, in fact, he was violating the law.
