I have to admit I haven&#x27;t had time to pull up the case on PACER yet, but it seems to be like the FBIs actions might have been a little too hasty here.<p>Based on what I&#x27;ve read so far, it seems like the FBIs actions might have been a bit too hasty here. I believe that instead of arresting this person, they should have placed him under heavy surveillance and then attempted to first deduce if he in fact intended to alert LE to the attack or not.<p>Arresting him several days before the supposed attack was supposed to happen took away his chance to essentially absolve himself by reporting the planned &quot;attacks&quot; to law enforcement and therefore exposing a domestic terrorist (cell).
