It's likely not AQ or the rest of the usual suspects. It's way off model - I mean, small, unreliable, big-flash-low-energy bombs, at an event like this, not their style at all.

Al Qaeda isn't really a singular organization, and they actually have very much been promoting "individual jihads" lately.
Err I guess that's weird calling them not singular and then saying "they" but there's a specific Al Qaeda associated entity (AQAP) that's been publishing an english language e-mag for the past couple of years and that's what I'm referring to!
Of course it was. In the 20th Century, there was a grand total of one attack on our soil from foreign terrorists. In the short time we've spent in the 21st, there has been one more. When there's an attack on America itself -- especially one this small -- one really has to assume that it's domestic; anything else would be stupid.
I agree, but that doesn't make them not terrorists.
They could also be American Al Qaeda sympathizers/allies as well (they exist). Basically, no one should jump to any conclusions until more facts have been revealed.
The most dangerous among us are those that could be a productive functioning helpful member of society and choose not to be.
True, but those tend not to be the front line instigators of horrific events. They instead tend to be the leaders and organizers who somehow manage to get enough mooks working for them to carry out their dangerous wishes.
I'm currently finishing research for whether Churches should be tax-exempt or not for my Religions of America class. The more I research, the more I find out how corrupt this system is :-'(
When you dig deep into the tax system you realize it's pretty fucked tax-exempt or not. God, I remember some horrible arguments about VAT and flat tax with some people that had an understanding of taxes that basically went as far as "income tax" and "sales tax" and that was the dead end. You fucking dig into this, and then start looking at subsidies, exclusions, incomprehensible code changes from city to city, state to state, intentionally vague categorization, passed along taxes and surcharges... fuck my life.
Anyone smart enough to get and make C4 work is smart enough to have a job and be a functioning member of society, and not a mad bomber.
Getting it would be the hard part, and you don't need to be too smart, just know the right people and have the right kind of money. Making C4 "Work" is absurdly simple, any putz with half a working brain could do it. There's a long, long way between making it work, and using science to make the deadliest bomb possible with the smallest amount of C4 possible.
A friend of mine is conducting a survey about foreigners' opinions of Japan for a school research project. If you've got 10 - 15 minutes to spare on it, I'd really appreciate it.

Roughly: pressure cooker attached to a board with at least one can of nails also attached. Black powder in the pressure cooker.
Everything fits with the low-tech homemade angle that was initially assumed.
