The safety of America depends much on the tips of those who know that it isn't. Like, Nashville bomber Anthony Warner's girlfriend, who warned police more than a year in advance that he was making a bomb.
Did officials fail to take the girlfriend seriously enough? They didn't mount much of an investigation, if any at all. They approached his RV, but couldn't get him to answer, so they walked away. Is it illegal to make a bomb? If not, the police couldn't so much as have gotten a search warrant, for if making a bomb is legal, the judge can't authorize a search.
Or, is making a bomb indeed illegal, and the officials were simply guilty of gross negligence in not following the lead?
It is not that the girlfriend was alone in warning police. Attorney Ray Throckmorton was there, and joined in the warning, telling police that Warner "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb."
