HOUSTON - A Katy man is expected to appear in federal court Friday to face several charges, including possession of explosive materials.

Robert James Talbot Jr., 38, was arrested Thursday following an eight-month undercover investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to the United States Attorneys’ Office.

Authorities allege Talbot wanted to recruit other "like-minded individuals" to blow up government buildings, rob banks and kill law enforcement officers.

These days, when I read such articles, I immediately assume that the suspect was just a yokel mouthing off in the bar and an FBI undercover guy whispered in his ear “You’ve got great ideas. You should put up a web site. You’ll need some explosives. I can sell you those.”

If you read the full article I believe it went a little deeper than that. There have been several attempted armored car robberies in Houston lately, and I believe one was quite successful.

Now, this might just be me... but aren't most ammunition rounds explosive?
I feel very hesitant of possession charges in general (as well as intent), but even moreso when it could be used to eliminate the use of firearms.

You have to be careful with Talbots, especially on nights with full Moons.
