The suspect in two dry ice bomb blasts at Los Angeles International Airport pleaded not guilty on Thursday.

Dicarlo Bennett, a 28-year-old baggage handler for Servisair, is being charged with two counts of possession of a destructive device.  According to authorities, Bennett made three dry ice bombs — one of which exploded at LAX Airport — as a prank. The airport has changed its policy on how employees dispose of dry ice after it has been used.

Bennett will have another hearing on Oct. 23, and in the meantime is being held on $1 million bail.
