Maybe the FBI could have waited until he managed to build a real bomb, only to lose track of him at the last moment. Then what? Kaboom? Who knows?
Why this guy then? Is it your assumption that he was one of the most dangerous men in America or something? Or is the arbitrary enforcement of justice based on assumptions just fine and dandy with you?

If we are dealing with assumptions here, why not assume that, left to live his life the next few years and without guidance from the FBI, that this young man might have had a turnaround in his thinking?

woopsie. sorry to mess with your assumptions, but assumptions are unfaithful like that.
