There's nothing else to backfire as he is already tagged for life. I think the best thing he's done has been to go completely public with the story and go on to teach at several universities.
Here is his wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_M._Elahi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_M._Elahi
The feds probably won't harass him directly anymore, but he now has the joy to document how the automated security-theater system will wrong him for the next 50+ years.
- ck2 15y agoWhat's crazy is I bet the original "tip" was bogus by either someone who didn't like him or they meant someone else. Even if it didn't pan out, they certainly aren't going to not take advantage of the opened door. Just like during the Iraq war people turned in their neighbors and people they didn't like in general for the bounties and many of them ended up in gitmo - but now the innocent ones can supposedly never be released because they most certainly have become embittered and dangerous. Oh yeah, remember Gitmo? Still there.

- pstuart 15y agoI'm guilty of paying taxes to support it but beyond that I'm quite against it. The government doesn't seem to value my opinion on the matter.
- rhizome 15y agoYeah, so far the most any of us can do is be aware.
- oelewapperke 15y agoI'm guilty of paying taxes to support this attention-grabbing nutcase. Yes he indulges your paranoid fantasies, which probably makes you feel all warm and giddy inside. Let's treat him like we treat all such things : smoke 'em and throw them away.
