In May of 2004 , artist Steve Kurtz woke to find his wife dead of heart failure and called 911. The police looked at his art installations, which involved harmless microbe specimens, and called the FBI. The FBI charged Kurtz with bioterrorism.

Maybe he did commit mail fraud, if he did why not charge him for it?

Even if he did commit mail fraud, the other party made it clear that they wouldn't press charges, and they are still planning on convicting him under the PATRIOT act. Wtf?
