The warrant contains a 24-point list of data the FBI was authorized by U.S. Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung to seize. Leung was appointed by the district court in 2011.
The first item on the list is this: “[a]ll records and information relating to damage to any Dominion computerized voting system, including any impairment to, or attempt to impair, the integrity or availability of data, a program, a system, or information.”
The feds were also seeking information “relating to the attachment of any peripheral to any Dominion computerized voting system, including any USB flash storage drive or other external media storage.”
The FBI also wanted to see if Lindell’s phone contained evidence that “any software, program, application, or code” was “used to obtain information about the configuration, security features, contents, or vulnerabilities of any Dominion computerized voting system.”
U of U student arrested after making nuclear threat at Utes football game
The blurb:

SALT LAKE CITY — A 21-year-old University of Utah student was arrested after police said she threatened to detonate a nuclear reactor if the U of U football team didn’t win its game.
Police arrested the U of U student and booked her into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of making a terroristic threat.
Police said prior to the Utes’ home game with San Diego State on Sept. 18, the woman used the app Yik Yak to post threats of violence.
According to police, the woman posted that if Utah didn’t win its football game she was going “detonate the nuclear reactor that is located in the University of Utah causing a mass destruction,” according to a police booking affidavit.
There was cause for concern according to police. The student has knowledge of where the nuclear reactor is stored on campus. Authorities said the suspect attends class in the same building.
I'm familiar with the type of reactor at the University of Utah. We had a similar one at the University of Florida as well. They give tours.
U of U's reactor is a TRIGA Mk 1, manufactured by General Atomics. This specific unit is rated for 100kw continuous.
Now, TRIGAs have been around since the late 50s, and are a special breed. The name stands for Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics. In other words, they're specifically intended for students and researchers to play with.
Reactors of this sort are fairly low-power and very inefficient. They don't use them to generate electricity, rather they are both a teaching tool for budding nuclear engineers, and a source of neutrons for physicists to irradiate things with. They are so safe that the NRC allows them to sit completely unattended for days at a time. They're not pressurized, and in fact not even enclosed in a conventional reactor vessel. You can literally stand on a platform at the top and look down into the water where the actual reaction is taking place:
(They're quite pretty. They actually do glow blue like that when running.)
So... talk about the very definition of a non-credible threat.
And now, because we live in an absolutely hysterical society, poor Meredith Miller is facing charges of terrorism because she made a joke at a football game.
