Stability and the Platinum Eye

The open letter challenging the government stated that they had randomly selected some people and buildings and planted bombs. If the government refused to meet their demands, they would detonate the bombs at irregular intervals until it gave in!

These people weren't particularly clever—or, rather, they hadn't thought things through. They hadn't managed to erase all traces of their activities, so the authorities followed the trail online and rounded them all up.
