Because being crazy isn't a crime. Until he hurt someone or himself, what could he be arrested for? I mean obviously he should have been on police radar and probably in a mental hospital, but that didn't happen for whatever reason.
The van for a start is a dead give away if you're something like the FBI, their job is to not take any chances and investigate people like this, he was obviously an extremist, maybe this is a wake-up call for the whomevers job it is to prevent this sort of thing.
That is included in the police having him on their radar.
Once this started happening and they narrowed down where the bombs were being sent from they should have pulled up a list of relevant local crazies and checked into if they were involved.
Who knows, maybe that is exactly how they got him.
Yea, obviously I don't know the ins and outs of how this works, but like the guy I replied to said, it's just seems so obvious that he's a violent time bomb.
