I’m going to. I was in Cedar Park last night when this was going down. Where da TV cameras? I’m “a survivor”, dammit! I want my 15 minutes and a book and movie deal!

LMAO. Must have been one hell of a blast if you were affected by it in Cedar Park.

I was so relieved to wake up to this news this morning. LE did an amazing job of zeroing in on him. They also clearly got the right guy. We are all very fortunate that in general, criminals are stupid and want attention. If he hadn't deviated from his original bombs, he would likely still be at-large. Seems like they all eventually just have to call attention to themselves- ego gets in the way- and lucky for us b/c then they get caught.

How about those pics in the Fed Ex store? If that doesn't raise suspicions, I don't know what would! Gloves? and a huge blonde wig? Yikes! Yet apparently, the employee just took the packages and went on with his day. Amazing.

Wasn’t the unibomber Mormon? This kids mother made some mention of him maybe going on a mission trip back when he graduated high school. Maybe he’s a copy cat.

“Does anyone really believe the police would disclose the real method they used to identify him..?”

No, because just like in 99% of all other cases it’s information from a private citizen. A “tip”.

No, that was the 'Tunabomber'.

I told my girlfriend when he sent the FedEx package he was done. They can tell exactly what truck it came from by its position on the conveyor belt and then just backtrack from there.

What I didn’t anticipate was the fact they knew what cellphone’s were using that tower at that point in time and then tracked his signal.
