Bombs in Texas

We've now seen bomb number 5 in Texas.  A package exploded at a FedEx facility in San Antonio; it was destined for Austin where the other four bombs exploded.  This bomb included shrapnel in order to inflict maximum damage.  Fortunately, no one was seriously injured by the blast, although one FedEx employee may have suffered a concussion.  There is very little that the public knows about these blasts.  The media speculated at first that the bombs might be aimed at minorities, but that has proven wrong.  They now seem to be placed at random.

So how does this all play out?  Will we hear from the usual sources that the USA needs common sense bomb regulations?  Will there be condemnations of the National Bomb Association for its work to keep bombs in the hands of private citizens.  Will the Union of Concerned Terrorists condemn these bombs for damaging the reputation of well intentioned terrorists across the land?

Seriously, these bombs indicate that not everything can be controlled by laws.  Obviously, making and detonating bombs is illegal everywhere in the USA.  It hasn't stopped the crazy or crazies who are placing these bombs.  We have no idea why they are doing this.  The point so far just seems to kill or maim people at random.

Anyone with the least bit of information ought to get it to the FBI.  Hopefully, law enforcement will be able to put this all together and find the culprit(s), the sooner the better.
