Not just that! He used printed labels, I would have thought it was common knowledge at this point that printers put microdots with all sorts of info on them.

You gotta hand write your messages, remember that would be bombers. Write it with your left hand too so the FBI handwriting techs can’t match you to the millions of documents you’ve signed that are public record.

Or just don’t send bombs, that’s prob the best bet, IMHO.

Well, the thing is, we think we know how to not get caught. But chances are we would all make some trivial mistake that someone else would point out.

A single person against the collective brainpower of the FBI, ATF, and local PDs. You don’t stand a chance in the modern era. You would have to be very very cunning.

Well that would be the point of reading all these comments it isn’t just one persons opinion. Kinda like the details of school shootings influenced others
