How NOT to Threaten the President

Dig this:

Dude goes a little wacky and starts mailing threatening, semi-coherent letters to GWB and certain businesses.

...All the letters are reportedly pretty far over the top. The letter to Bush threatened to both kill and injure him. The text is not available.

A letter to JC Penny corporate offices also showed over-reaching on Santiago’s part, threatening both to destroy their building  and to damage it with explosives.  The letter also contained funny money and attachments, part of most of his packages. There were counterfeit C notes, some smaller frequency, and a note which read in part "You will be attacked by a suicide bomber on February 25. God Day. And you will all Die. Saddam Hussein is my God and I will kill for him. The President Bush will Die soon."

[...]

And, of course, he made sure to cover his tracks; he listed the return address of a former boss on the envelopes.

I am reminded of the scene in Repo Man, where Otto the Punk has been beaten up, and his coworkers want revenge. They repeatedly question Otto, who gives in and tells them. Cut to them knocking on his old boss' front door, baseball bats(and GLOVES) in hand.

Subtext of this tale? Getting Blacklisted For Morons.

"Oh no, the FBI can't trace me...."

(Kingfish, the title does say "NOT threatening the Prez". Relax.)

yeah, but Carnivore or whatever system they have in place now looks for keywords, no doubt..

I expect Carnivore / Echelon / whatever has a l33t sp34k detecting subroutine by now, so we're all fuxxored either way.
