Unabomber Pipe Dreaming
MARCH 8--Destined to die in Colorado's Supermax federal prison, convicted Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski now fashions himself a jailhouse lawyer as he tries to stymie the government's auction of some of the material seized a decade ago from his Montana cabin. While the serial killer does not oppose bidding for items like his typewriters and clothing, he has filed a legal appeal trying to halt the sale of what he claims is copyright material, including journals, correspondence, and versions of his loony manifesto. And Kaczynski, 64, has also taken issue with the government's request to destroy what it considers to be bomb-making materials found in his shack. The murderer contends that the contraband in question has 'legitimate, lawful purposes' and, as such, should either be sold off or returned to him. Kaczynski, it seems, thinks that only completed bombs should be forfeited. While a Kaczynski appeal has stayed any disposition of his belongings, pictures of some of the contraband sure seem to support the prosecution position that the contested material be destroyed. On the following pages you'll find FBI evidence photos of copper tubing, wiring, various chemicals, electrical components, and other material that Kaczynski argues should be saved from destruction. While we're no legal experts, Ted probably should not count on ever reuniting with his pile of white powder, those packages of bolts, or that mysterious container of Shoppers Choice Quick Oats.
