Feds Say That Banned Researcher Commandeered a Plane | WIRED

I will reserve comment until I know more, but... I will say the FBI is great at what they know, and insane at what they don't.

If you have the capacity to do some techno evil, the FBI seems to assume you must be the guilty party, since THEY don't have that capacity, and apparently they watched Columbo in FBI school. ( a tv detective, the bad guy always wanted to help, to throw the detective off his trail, but always revealed himself by being the only person who could figure out the crime.... )

Why do I think this? Because the person who murdered some USPS personnel and a little old lady with anthrax has never been caught. A researcher at USAMRIID was hounded until he killed himself, because he was a tech geek with poor social skills who was an anthrax expert.... Feel free to disagree with this biased opinion.
