They have not yet revealed the contents of the suitcase. I imagine this guy will be getting a new suitcase full of clothes courtesy of the government.
I find it somewhat unbelievable that they would do all this and then blow one up on the spot, after they determined there was no explosive in it.

Exchusssse me???? The nut case goes up to the US Capital with two suitcases and refuses to communicate with the police officers other than to say "I want to talk to your President" or move away and you feel that he deserves anything other than a prison sentenance?
Please try this type of stunt in Bejing or Moscow and see what their reaction is! They would shoot him then run the suitcases over with a tank then deliver the pieces to the Embassy. Cannot say that I disagree with them either.
Compare apples to apples. Man standing up to the tank was in a repressive country. Here we allow free speech. There you would be thrown in a prison for posting a post like this. Here you can say what you wish. Whole different kettle of fish...
