I think Carnivore got him after 911.
Remember that tag line he always had with every possible
terrorist trigger word? ...it was a hoot. He's probably in
a detention cell with his own unshaven sweaty Arab bitch...

"I only listen R-390. I not terrorist. I good redneck
American...only joking about Semtex. Hah, Hah, Hah."

I wonder how the bars would work at supressing PC noise.
If the warden lets him put up an antenna, he might be able
to get good reception on his R-390, and pretty good lightening
protection as well. According to "Audels R-390 Operating
and Repair Book", the R-390 requires at least a forty square
foot jail cell for proper operation under those conditions, and
the bars must be of steel or some other ferrous material.
Extensive debriefing of the Myaguez (sp?) prisoners revealed
that the R-390 they built from scratch had a noise figure that
was slightly below factory spec, and they concluded that the
problem was that the bars were of bamboo instead of steel.
They also had trouble getting a proper load on the antenna
when they fired up their scratch built T-368. They eventually
built a T-195/R-392 pair that worked well...oops...drifting
off topic again. KEEP IT TO R-390's ONLY PLEASE.

Get Kraco on the blower and tell him we're stopping by
for our "cut". Sulu, make course for Iotia, ahead warp 9.
