Mickey Kaus asks...Don't you think the D.C. sniper, while probably not a member of an organized terrorist group, is quite likely to be a politically-motivated individual "volunteer," like the Egyptian immigrant limo driver who shot up the El Al counter at L.A.X. on July 4? ... 4:00 A.M.Depends... Depends... If the rental truck's a really-truly clue, that Teenage Angst Killer theory's a goner; you've got to be at least 25 years old to rent a truck. That leaves either the Camo Pants Killer or a Terrorist Wannabe — or something entirely different and I dunno what. Sure hope the truck pans out, because I'm at a loss. |

#4 I think tracing the guy's credit card number will work better. There's a lot of real estate in the DC metro area... |

#3 i heard about gun sensers that the coppers are installing in east LA because of all the gun vilence there maybe they'll work in this situation |

#2 I tend to agree with Mickey. It's probably a couple of volunteer Islamic terrorist wannabes. And I think it've very likely to be a sniper/spotter team, not a lone gunman. |

#1 those sensors take the intensity of the sound - computer calculate the triangulation based on known locations of sensors....if you don't have a known grid/web of sensor locations it doesn't do squat |
