AHC: Timothy McVeigh stays at large for longer?

What happens if Timothy McVeigh isn't apprehended soon after the bomibing of the Federal Building Oklahoma? Would he perpetrate more attacks? Would his attack lead to more homegrown terrorism?

maybe, maybe he'd go from state to state targeting federal buildings...incidentely I had a McVeigh related timeline in mind.

You mean if he just had the sense to put a !@#$%^& licence plate on his getaway car, drive away at a moderate speed, and hide his *()! gun?

More attacks by McVeigh himself? Not too likely, or if they happen, they'll probably be much smaller. IHMO, the first one took months, maybe even over a year, from inspiration to execution.

More inspired attacks by others? More likely. One person getting away with it encourages others.

How does this affect Ted Kaczynski?

The license plate was blown off by the explosion, he need to part farther away.

He had planned to carry out more attacks, but it would be difficult to buy that much ANFO after the first attack. With his infantry background, I would guess killing off duty FBI agents by snipping is a pretty good bet.
