There are plenty of nut jobs on the political and religious extremes. Most of them simply stew in their own juices. That’s this idiot had dangerous substances probably made him feel conspiratorial and powerful. But there doesn’t seem to have been any evidence of a delivery mechanism. What was he going to do? Throw a jar of lithium immersed in oil at a politician? Light a magnesium strip and put it in a politician’s shoe? Put iron (II) oxide in someone’s sandwich?

But this kind of stuff provides bureaucratic agencies political ammunition. That the information was kept for release for a politically opportune moment is proof.
