When my dad was in high school, he got drunk and built a bomb. He put
the bomb on a highway overpass. It exploded but did no damage. Witnesses got his license plate when he drove away.
The next day the FBI came to the house. He just got scared by them, no real trouble. My grandfather just laughed at him getting scared....
