Austin Unibomber sends package through fedex, explodes at facility

This may be his undoing. They can track the unexplored 2nd package to its origin and see if there are security camera footage at that facility or drop box. Assume he used the second option so he could cover his face as he can't do that at a fedex office location.

Scary. Hope he's caught soon. Im very interested to see who this individual is... serial bombing is definitely a strange crime to commit.

It's "Unabomber," with an "a," not an "i," and it's not a generic term.

The FBI used the code word "UNABOM," an acronym for "UNiversity and Airline BOMber," before the identified Ted Kaczynski as the guy behind the bombings. After his arrest, the media referred to him as the Unabomber.

Instead of arresting the guy first once he’s been identified, cops should post his address on reddit so the trolls can send him some packages in return.

“Yay, a package from mom!”( BOOM! )

Too bad he couldn't be tortured first but good if true.

Looks like it went down like I said it would they would have footage at the drop off location and track him from there based on materials from the unexploded bomb.

walking into a FedEx/Kinkos with a wig on...yeah, that's not suspicious at all. That's what happens when you try to hard to hide hour identity but forget that places like that have surveillance cameras. If he was the actual mastermind behind the bombs, karma came after him swiftly.
