Austin bomber Mark Anthony Conditt used a "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here" yard sign to hide one of his homemade bombs. Conditt killed himself hours after authorities filed the complaint on March 20. It charged him with one count of unlawful possession and transfer of a destructive device. The affidavit revealed details about the construction of the bombs along with Conditt's planning and preparation. Officials said Conditt, 23, was responsible for making seven devices, killing two people and wounding five others in Austin and near San Antonio over nearly three weeks in March. He blew himself up with one of his bombs as police approached his vehicle.

Safety is so important and this guy was brilliant in his planning and hiding of his weapons. We need to be more careful who we trust and where to look for dangerous items and people.I am so glad this man was caught and can no longer hurt others.
