The US citizen, identified as Joel Cox Eugene, was carrying 15 bullets of 9mm calibre along with a magazine when ASF officials checked him. He was going to Islamabad by a PIA flight (PK 308).
Malir SP Rao Anwar said the bullets found in the US citizen’s possession would be sent for forensic tests. He said that serial numbers of the bullets had already been sent to a forensic laboratory and a case was registered at the Airport police station.

This person is not alone. There is definitely USA behind him. And he will be released soon. Pakistan is a beggar country and beggars cant be choosers. Stop fooling yourself. The fate of Pakistan and Pakistanis will never change. To bring the change will require lots of efforts and the first step in the right direction is never been taken yet.
So all the roads seem to lead you guys to Hell.

Either he is a member of Black Water or he just wanted to be transferred from Pakistan on immediate basis.

Since when the bullets without a weapon are considered dangerous or illegal?

A similar incident in Delhi airport. An American was detained who was carrying pistol rounds. He had come to India to meet his would-be bride , but did not declare the possession. He was a New York City cop. He is still in the country but getting all the help from US Embassy.
But then, in Pakistan, I am told that one has to protect oneself, for protection provided for ordinary people is just miserably poor or non existent. Perhaps this what made The traveller carry ammo. Just guessing.

Probably at the most he will be fined around 30,000 rupees and be banned from the country. Either he's a spy or the bullets were planted in his belongings as retaliation by Pak government officials for his part of an anti-corruption investigation.
