I consider MythBusters terrorists, blowing up way too many Cherokees, should be federal offense.

Basically they cannot arrest him unless he commits the act.

Yes they can. look at prostitution stings. You just have to show intent.

News reports have the Judge assigned to the case having some problems with the process. We'll see.
I would rather the FBI supply him with a fake bomb and taking him off the streets, than for him to later find the real thing and achieving his fantasy.
