Actually, the FBI has better things to do with their time.
Several years ago I received a series of threatening emails that involved
Explosives, firearms etc... threats of my car exploding when I went to
start it, threats of being gunned down as I walked outside my house etc.
All from someone on a newsgroup that was picking random email addresses off
it and sending out these threats... he thought it was funny.
With the help of my ISP and his ISP, we traced him down, subpoena'd the
info as to who he was and sent it to the FBI (Since it crossed state
lines).  After 2 weeks, I received a message back from the FBI stating they
had better things todo with their time than hunt down people that made
"empty threats" over email.  Local law enforcement wanted nothing to do
with it as they said it could have been me "modifying" any message that
came to me as an effort to get someone in trouble.
Point being, unless you make a direct threat against a federal figure, be
it building or person, they won't and don't care.

As for EFI content, I now have a 68HC11EVB sitting here...  any suggestions
on where to start to make it a controller? (Maybe for a lawnmower first
then work my way up to the bigger stuff!)

Later,
