   It does seem that they tracked him by simple means, where he seems to have   
   been triangulated to each of the bomb sites, according to the news.   
      
   I find it odd that someone, planning a crime, would bring a cellphone along   
   with them on the crime.   
      
   It just seems stupid.   
      
   At this point, he's made a twenty-minute video which the police have   
   characterized as a confession, but it was all about the bombs, which is   
   odd, don't you think?   
      
   He seemed to be wrapped up in the /technology/ of the bombs, which is why   
   it matters what technology he chose for his phone.   
      
   Time will tell as it will come out, eventually, which phone he used, where   
   I'm only seeking to better understand the machinations of his mind since   
   most of us reasonable people would consider it extremely dumb to bring a   
   cell phone along while on a /planned/ crime spree.

   Heh heh ... yeah. You're right. The best are those during the Harding and   
   Grant eras, where they made hundreds of millions of 1920's dollars, which   
   is likely billions in today's dollars.   
      
   James Comey comes to mind, when talking about criminal politicians, where   
   Comey wasn't even paid to be a sleazy politician - but he was nonetheless.
