I wonder if Mr. Godwin will consider explaining whether making "threats" like the above, serious or not, can possibly result in a period of less-than-pleasant interactions between the author and the FBI. (I'm honestly curious; I really have no idea whether the answer is "yes" or "no".)
It's more likely that it would draw the attention of state and/or local law enforcement: most states have laws against "terroristic threats." Whether the comment qualifies as a genuine terroristic threat is open to question. (Why threaten with a rusty razor? True terrorists keep their tools sharp.) --Mike
