Atmani may be the man American police are still searching for: an accomplice, thought possibly to have fled from the ferry--along with "sleeper" associates already hiding somewhere in the U.S. It's likely that at least one other person would have been required to transform the volatile chemicals in Ressam's trunk into bombs. The chemistry alone could take a couple of days; the assembly process would have been tricky as well. Ressam's chosen crossing point seemed amateurish: he would stand out among the sparse travelers.

...along the way, more money in the pockets of Amazon employees. Michael Krantz, our San Francisco bureau chief, hung around their offices in Seattle for a few days and noticed how the subject of stock options never came up. "They're all imbued with this giddy faith that their best days lie ahead of them," says Krantz. "The subtext, of course, which they are well trained never to mention to reporters, is that if they're right, a lot of them are going to be extremely rich...
