FBI forensics has a terrible reputation among professional scientists as being third rate pseudoscience.
A President's Counsel of Advisors on Scince and Technology report, titled “Forensic Science in Criminal Courts: Ensuring Scientific Validity of Feature-Comparison Methods,” concludes that a number of common, pattern-matching forensic disciplines – bite-mark analysis, fingerprint and firearm comparison, shoe-tread analysis, and complex DNA mixture analysis – need additional support to be deemed scientifically valid and reliable – a conclusion in line with that reached in the groundbreaking 2009 report on forensics issued by the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council.
But that highly regarded scientific expert Attorney General Loretta Lynch said that the agency remains “confident that, when used properly, forensic science evidence helps juries identify the guilty and clear the innocent, and the department believes that the current legal standards regarding the admissibility of forensic evidence are based on sound science and sound legal reasoning.”
Not so secret anymore....

I wonder what a proper soil investigation would produce in that New Mexico complex where the Jihadi’s hung out? Methinks FBI has an IED lab to provide materials to jihadists.....wouldn’t put it past them.
The car with two American Embassy Tel Aviv Diplomatic Security Officers were killed in Gaza by an IED/attack in 2003(?4) was still in a cage at the GSO Warehouse in 2005-2006 - I wonder if “we” wanted to know?
Another F.I.B. puff-piece?
Possibly of interest.
I wonder if anyone else is surprised they have blown themselves up yet.
