| 2007-04-18 |
| Nothing seems outstanding but this is for the room, we still haven't seen any info on the car. |

| #11 In answer to your #9, when college boys go to the gym, all in the vicinity are aware of it... or at least that was my experience in those days with the future Mr. Wife. He did enjoy walking around pumped up and sweaty entirely too much, in my considered opinion. He still does, even though deep in the throes of what is supposed to be sensible middle age. Mr. Cho's dorm room was described as typical college boy pigsty, so I imagine there were odiferous gym clothes draped over all the surfaces therein. |

| #10 milford421, trailing daughter #1 has a credit card attached to a credit account on which we both have signing authority. She will be seventeen at the end of the month, and we got it so she can pay for gas for the aged minivan she drives. She also frequently takes it upon herself to pick up groceries on the way home from school, and to buy her sister and herself dinner at the local Subway as a treat. I just now checked, and the card apparently came with a $15,000 spending limit. Not at all what I intended -- I'll see about reducing that tomorrow!! But, if Mr. Cho was similarly on his parent's credit card account, as seems likely given that they were so careful and concerned about him, and given the large bills for textbooks and such that college students are faced with, it would make sense to me that purchases that seem large to you and me would not raise any flags with the credit card issuer. |

| #9 Something else doesn't sit right here. The roommate, and numerous other students, claimed Cho never spoke to ANYONE. Why then, did the roommate tell news that Cho recently started going to the gym? How would he know? Does anyone know if that's where this guy went... |

| #8 Capsu 78, I asked about how the gunman paid for these expensive items on a blog, and was told credit card. All credit card purchased items? Wouldn't that raise a red flag with SOMEONE? One gun was $541...he had more than one. What's the limit on a college kid's credit card these days? At some point, he had to pay at least the minimum. The ammo, as you point out is quite expensive. I'd like to have more info on these purchases. |

| #7 Has anyone asked NBC why they ran a recruiting advertisement for suicide/homicide mass killings? Has anyone asked Cho's roommate or suitemates if Cho was seen with guns? My dorm had no privacy. Was Cho a follower of Mohammed? Is it George Bush's fault yet? |

| #6 Pardon my moment of density, back there around 3:15pm EDT. Yeah, you're right. The package that showed up at NBC News seems to explain part of the 2 hour lag: had to go to the post office... and perhaps his cache was not in his room as suggested. |

| #5 Dremel tool would be choice of tool to disfigure serial number. Has anyone seen mention of transaction where cho purchases magazine clips for 9mm, .22c.? They are going to cost $15+ per mag for 9mm and $10+ for .22, plus he bought a bunch more ammo. There has to be a $200+ transaction out there somewhere. PS. I am a casual target practice firearms owner- I am ballparking costs based on my experience. Subject experts welcome to reply. |

| #4 eLarson, I think he/she meant that Cho would not keep such items where his roomies can easily view them. |

| #3 Are suggesting his suite-mates would cover for him? |

| #2 His suite mates might have had access to his room. Anything interesting will be in a car or an offsite storage locker, if any. |

| #1 I saw a dremel tool on the list. Perhaps that is what he used to take the serial numbers off the guns. |
