The FBI seized over 150 homemade pipe bombs, tools, and bomb-making materials from the Virginia home of Brad Spafford in December, marking the largest cache of finished explosive devices in FBI history.
Spafford, 36, was initially charged with possessing an unregistered short-barrel rifle, with additional charges related to the explosives expected.
