Ted's Version

"Sometimes his efforts to cover up were ingenious. Like shoes he made, also found in the cabin, that had smaller soles attached to the bottom, so they could make it appear as if a person with smaller feet had actually been walking in them. And there are notes of his attempts to outwit law enforcement, as in one journal entry where he says that he intentionally put two human hairs acquired in a bus station into a bomb "to deceive the policemen, who will think that the hair belongs to whoever made the device."

"Mr. Kaczynski studied fingerprints. Mr Kaczynski knew about forensic evidence. He took measures to drive the investigation down the wrong path in order to avoid detection," Noel said.

He even made a homemade gun -- part wood, part metal -- that could not be traced. About it he wrote, "I want to use the gun as a homicide weapon."

(Well of course it could not be "traced". Morons. One can only trace a gun if one has the gun. ANY gun. Not as easy as CSI makes it out to be, and most "experts" are fairy-tale-tellers in court, but it's not like the characteristics of every firearm ever manufactured are stored in a data base that lists the owners address, home phone number and hat size. Not that the anti's aren't trying, mind you, but the best forensic pro alive cannot trace a weapon to an owner without having both gun and owner. Look at it this way; if Ted's gun could not be traced then how do they know it belonged to him?)
