However, I can't imagine someone this day and age carrying a box they have
no idea what's inside as carry-on.

Yeah, that was dumb. But he flies commercially maybe every other year, so
he just wasn't aware of the possible problems that could cause.

Had he told any of us what he was doing, we could have warned him...
