FBI at press briefing says it appears he was acting alone.
Did not discuss the contents of the backpack, other than inert materials found.
No device was found.
Investigation ongoing.

Nah. If that were the case, then we would infact be fueling Terrorists at their job. If anything, there's more to the story.
When I was in Korea doing Unit Patrol at the base enterence gates we had a truck try to come in with a guy hiding in the back. Turns out the guy hiding was not only of eastern nationality, he was concealing a weapon in the truck. This was before the Iraq War hit off, when this stuff should have made news, but it never did. Infact nobody on base but us ever knew it even happened. Soon after it became a rumor only, that I and only a few others knew was legit.
News doesn't always travel, and when it does, usually it's only part of the story. But the government doesn't mess around when it comes to Terrorist activities. That would serve no purpose.

To my understanding, "Amonium Nitrate" alone doesn't make an explosive and even when mixed as ANFO you still need a high explosive to set it off.
Look for the report of possession of a high explosive otherwise they busted the gardener.

This put an end to things for now...
A source with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News that authorities then found a backpack containing what they believed was five pounds of ammonium nitrate outside the vehicle -- however, while the substance was labeled "ammonium nitrate," field tests came back negative.
A notebook was also found at the scene and contained threatening phrases like "Al Qaeda" and "Taliban rule" and "defeated coalition forces," Fox News has learned.
Schlosser would not confirm reports that suspicious items have been found, saying the investigation is still ongoing.
"At this point we have someone who was suspicious by being in Arlington Cemetery overnight," he said. "I’m not sure if any devices have been found at this point."
The man arrested is a naturalized U.S. citizen who came to the country from Ethiopia, a source told MyFoxDC.com.

The "terrorist" should have checked Wikipedia before starting off on his Jihad. He's probably just a paid actor playing out a false flag opp to inspire more enslavement of America.

ammonium nitrate, spent 9mm shells in backpack, notebook with suspicious words in it.
Sounds like my daypack, except I need to remove the instant icepack from it (its old), the 9mm cases are still live, and I wrecked my smartphone so no more late night survivalist board or stratfor global intelligence feeds.

You are more likely to accidentally drown in your own sink than to be harmed by a terrorist.

"knock knock knock"
"we have come to the undersanding that you are in possession of spent ammunition cartrdiges, you do realize this is against DHS security viloation 3456 and executive order 5468, we must either confiscate these shells and or imprision you under the definition of being a lone wolf terrorist"
