Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post which reports that a Seattle man was arrested for mailing the suspicious packages to military installations in the Washington, DC area;
The FBI has arrested a man believed to be responsible for sending a series of suspicious packages to D.C. area government facilities Monday, a law enforcement official said.
The man was arrested in the Seattle area and is expected to appear in federal court later Tuesday afternoon. Investigators do not believe the incident was one of terrorism, but they are still exploring the suspect’s motivations, the law enforcement official said.
The man is believed to have sent more than half a dozen packages — targeting, among other places, Fort McNair, Fort Belvoir, and a military facility in Dahlgren, Va. He also sent packages that were intercepted at mail sorting facilities for the White House and CIA.
The FBI declined to provide the man’s name.
That didn’t take long – and he’ll be making appearances in court later today, all the way from across the country. He probably didn’t spend much time trying to hide his identity.

I have a feeling this guy is one of the millions of Carpetbaggers that have flooded my state.
That was quick.

I’m sure that he followed postal regulations and put his return address on the mailing label, just like you’re supposed to do.
Must have been applying for the ‘Idiot of the Decade’ award.
He has tough competition from from a bunch of tide podders crying about our constitution
Nah…he was just sending boxes of rubbers to the a.h.’s in DC wouldn’t continue to breed! 😉
According to someone who was supposed to keep his or her yap shut but wants to play Deep Throat II, the arrested knucklehead has done this before and is known to LE. The pkgs were said to contain rambling notes and ‘black powder’ of some sort. Hell, he probably put his return address on the pkgs.
Idiots gonna idiot.
Glad no one was hurt by this one. Yet.
But it is a reminder that the bad guys only gotta get lucky once. The good guys have to be batting 1000 all the time.
Life is extra hard for him because he was a turbo-dumbass.

Over run by the NBA?
Luckily we had Rabbi dogs sniffing all the packages…..

In the end LE will likely reissue tin-foil hat batteries and medication to this subject and give him a do not repeat letter.
Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office just tweeted that they assisted the Seattle FBI Office with the arrest of an Everett man, not Seattle.
Then again, who the hell knows about Everett, besides those of us that live here.
Seattle Times and the Everett Herald has a booking photo of him and a picture of his humble abode. He lived in a double-wide trailer amongst Douglas Fir trees and nicer homes near Interstate 5.
Zillow says his property is worth $196k. In Seattle, with the hot real estate market, that would go for $500k.
The FBI says that they have no motive for his actions at this time. Crap, crazy people don’t have motives. They have voices in their heads, or what seems like good ideas at the time. The Seattle Times article says that this is not the first time he has done this, and not the first time he has been caught. It is unfortunate that there is no place to lock guys like this away.
SEATTLE…well THAT’S a fargin suuuurprise! LMAO. ALSO: the phrase “SAT CONG” applies in full force. 😉
