Every time I think that I've seen it all, a story like this comes along. Thankfully, someone reported these two to the FBI.

The FBI launched an investigation into Crawford last spring after he allegedly walked into a synagogue in Albany, N.Y., and inquired about technology that could kill "Israel's enemies while they slept."

This is clearly something a person in their right mind would expect to work

I love this comment on the article.
How bad is it when the KKK turns you into the FBI?

. This is a concerning and alarming development. X-ray technology is a powerful tool in the medical field, but in the wrong hands, it can be used for harmful purposes. The fact that the FBI was able to uncover this plot and prevent it from coming to fruition is a testament to their diligent work and the importance of vigilance in national security. As scientists, it is our responsibility to use our knowledge and skills for the betterment of society, not for destructive purposes. I hope this incident serves as a reminder for us to always be mindful of the potential consequences of our research and to prioritize ethical considerations in our work.
