- If I remember right (from an FBI report) there was something like close

- Idoubt even Belfast has that many.

- Nice conjecture, but I think you will find out over the next year or so
- this will be proved false. More people who are caught are being found
- with information that was gotten off of the computer.
-
- If you were the BATF and were trying to find out where bombs were being made,
- we you go to the library or to a place like rec.pyro where people are talking
- about it? Not just simple bombs, but all sorts of stupid things.

-
- So you become the average american because you have not created a bomb? I
- think you would be suprised at how many actually have created bombs of
- one type or another.
-
- I have been amazed over the years at the people who HAVE made bombs of various
- types. You would be amazed too.

-
- Getting access is not much of a privlege now days. Kids in high school have
- easy access, more than you ever had in high school or I for that matter.
-
- You have made a sweeping statements on how you see the world. I have seen
- it differently and know that there are a lot more rocks to turn, then you
- or I will have time to turn. Under each of those rocks are some pretty
- crazy and scarey things. Get on some underground BBS's and learn a little -
- you will change your tune...

-
- What they should be doing and what they are doing - are much different.
- They are watching. You have been warned. You think this as fun. They
- think of this as a job to catch someone doing something illegal.
