The Unabomber wasn't as insane as people assume. I've only read a bit of it, but I've heard that NY Times creed is a pretty consistent and reasonably well thought out argument. He has some points; arguably, our society's relationship with technology is way out of wack. I don't think he proposes a realistic scenario, and it's a bit neoluddite, but still. Sanity wise, I'd put him at least as competent as palistinean suicide bombers.
Also, he's a dead easy halloween costume; I just put on the hooded sweatshirt I always have on hand at the overly-AC'd office, slip on my magnet clip on sunglasses, and I'm good to go!
