Explosion in Boston?

if there's more than 1 person then phone calls are likely to be made. Since those are under surveillance...
 
Correct, but again this individual seems to be a person of interest.

Depends. Seems like the media and bloggers think this person is a person of interest; not much coming from the actual investigators that the individual who had his pants blown off in the explosion causing him to run like hell is a person of interest (or, if he is, it certainly cannot be merely for that reason).
 
Everybody is over here looking at the bombings. Mean time they pass CISPA

yeah. Sarcasm
 
Exactly. Particularly if you have someone under surveillance but need to see some kind of reaction perhaps to justify a search warrant.

If they are monitoring any sort of cell phone action and someone is dumb enough, there ya go as well.

Twenty-six thousand runners; another thirty or forty thousand spectators and revelers. The latter making routine phone calls throughout the day to see where friends are; the former making celebratory phone calls when they finish. Add to this number the hundred thousand or so individuals who were working all day in Boston, making frequent phone calls. I highly doubt that many judges are going to give a warrant for phone records simply because an individual was on the phone at the time.

no I meant being made once the arrest info was announced to see a reaction. Didn't mean during the race/bombing

Okay, I understand. And, yes, that makes sense. Most likely, though, these guys would be on burners (or, maybe not, since their devices seemed sloppy).
 
Its not a suicide bombing. Why would he put the thing down and then stand there and wait for it to blow up to run?

Does not make sense.

Could be the detonation went off early?

This, as I said earlier had to be at least two guys. Probably 3, two package handlers and a trigger man. Just a theory.

No, but:

1) Feds get records from nearby cell towers, so they know which numbers are getting calls to and from in that area around that time.

2) Take list of pinged phone numbers, get the names associated.

3) Check names against lists of persons already on their radar as generally of interest for any matches.

4) If any matches, check into any travel records or other data indicating those persons in the Boston area at the time.

5) Let it slip you have video of the bomber; let it slip bomber arrested. Watch for and record reaction from any of the matched up sources.
