How are any of these things illegal ?
And where, pray tell, would a grad student get PTSD ??
You sir, are using a Retrospectroscope, the world’s only infallible instrument.
And also, pray tell, of these “chemical mixtures”. While details are scant, it’s simple enough to make explosives out of everyday household chemicals.
In short, the only way to have put the picture together would be to have a Big Brother-level ubiquitous surveillance system.
And even THAT would have a hard time catching someone who simply just went nuts. . .
Individually, they are not.

PTSD, PSTD, SAD, OCD, BPD, whatever fancy acronym they use for indicating someone is mentally ill.

I was thinking more of a 'profile'. It is what the FBI says they use to protect us. That is why they collect the info. Too bad it didn't help in this case.

Let's just say that it's simple enough for a graduate student to order some of the necessary materials without drawing much attention. Since the police have not revealed the actual ingredients of what they found (and they shouldn't. That should be saved for the trial), it is really hard to say what was used. I don't think they released a list of what 'chemicals' he purchased, either online or through the college 'purchase system'.

True. My point is that they already have quite a bit of 'big brother' in place, and yet it seems that this guy, and the guy from the Ft. Hood Massacre , and countless others seem to 'escape' the notice of 'big brother'. Perhaps, in this case, it all happened too quickly, and no red flags were generated in time. Or perhaps the idea of monitoring the entire public to prevent crime is a wasted and unrealistic effort.
And even THAT would have a hard time catching someone who simply just went nuts. . .
And I think that is the bottom line to this case.
Back to the original disagreement, I was only trying to point out that you , while being a geek and having guns, have not exhibited signs of mental illness (such as building bombs and wiring your door to them).
This guy did, and also did many other things. You have been around guns for a long time. This guy, as far as we know, had not. THAT was the main difference I tried to point out (yet failed).
