This isn't adding up, to me. My working assumption has been that he hit residences b/c they're soft targets (less security cameras) and he was in this for the long haul. He took care to disguise himself when shipping.

Good points, do you think they found him another way and don't want the public to know it was via some illegal process?

@emptywheel. Do you think there's some sort of LE capability here that either hasn't been mentioned in the context of this search, or that we don't know about at all?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Maybe he was using a VPN and didn't know that doesn't help (much).

What kind of explosives was he using? Any reason to suspect it was among those w/standing 215 or related collection?

Also, when they say they got info from the drop-off, couldn't they have gotten location data, perhaps from phone or car?

It looks like they had his cell phone and his Google history. The apparent lack of a burner phone is puzzling to me.http://www.khou.com/article/news/local/texas/austin-bombing-suspect-dead-after-blowing-self-up/285-530547258 …

Also, was he really dumb enough to be logged into Google while doing his bomb making searches, or is this Google tracking his logged out searches.

Also, for a former computer repair tech, he really doesn't have an online social footprint at all. He has to at least have accounts on something like Steam or Reddit that haven't been found, yet.

These batteries would be a weak link, right? It would be very normal for ATF to do a subpoena for whoever had bought/searched for such batteries.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/austin-bombings-suspect-believed-neutralized-sources-n858576 …
