It took years to get Ted Kaszynski, and the FBI only got him when it published his screed, and Kaszynski's brother recognized the writing.
Maybe you could have done better?
Buncha panty-waists...
Enough people knew that there was a potential for anthrax early enough that the President and his people were on Cipro six weeks before the first outbreaks.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to unjustly accuse the FBI of gross competence. Ever.
If they did more investigating criminals and real terrorists instead of worrying about all the wrong things they might be able to salvage what's left of their sorry assed reputation.
It won't happen though. Too many "prior restraint" types, too many bureaucrats, to many idiots rifling around in other people's business when they shouldn't be, too many overly armed, under trained urban commando wannabes, too much corruption, too much John Ashcroft (gotta get spend a year and several million busting a dozen prostitutes in LA), too much John Ashcroft (gotta have access to everyone's electronic communications and financial), too much John Ashcroft (gotta monitor the entire internet), too much John Ashcroft (gotta be able to rob a private citizens home without even telling him), too much John Ashcroft (let's have prayer meetings at work).
It is nice however to see them once in a while investigate REAL criminals. You know, the kind that violate other people's rights.
The FBI published the anthrax screed promptly enough. But they won't be arresting the perp, because he flew through a skyscraper on the morning of 11 September. If they're lucky, though, they might get some of his assistants, if they're not already in custody.
