[ RadSafe ] Albany NY area White supremacist pair plotted radioactive weapon to kill Muslims

[clayton bradt]

Fortunately the local paper (Albany Times Union) consulted a few actual
experts and quoted at least one as saying that the device was not feasible.
 There is just no way these clowns could have constructed anything like
what they envisioned. (The only way their truck mounted device could have
killed anyone was by running them over! ) They would have soon discovered
this once they tried procuring their x-ray source.  The FBI pounced while
they were still under the illusion of success.  The pair could never have
gotten as far as they did had not the under cover agents assisted with
money for parts and offered to buy the finished device for use by the Klan.
As it is, all they accomplished after a year of effort was to build a
remote on/off  switch.

These guys are bigots who aspired to be murderers, but could never have
constructed a weapon of mass destruction as alleged in the FBI complaint.
 Calling such a device a WMD is preposterous in itself. A kitchen knife
could kill more people more quickly than the Rube Goldberg thing these guys
wanted to build.  Clearly the FBI is railroading these two in the pursuit
of some positive publicity following their humiliating Boston Marathon
failure.  If they had committed the personnel and resources to keep tabs on
the Tsarnaev brothers (allegedly) instead of these morons they may have
actually saved lives and limbs.
