6. Yep

Fingerprints, residue, anything that will establish a solid link to the suspect and the bombs.

8. And reduce the chances of things like thrown rocks and "stray" bullets.

2. Probably so they could change the stickers.

3. Most likely to protect the suspect!

After Oswald was shot by Ruby, law enforcement learned to protect suspects.

4. They should have left it out in the open

show it for all the world to see, show photos of it front and center on all news outlet sites. To let the world know what kind of despicable brain dead whack job would send bombs to good people.

On MSNBC when they showed his profile off to the left of the news feed, it said that he's a "Registered Republican". Give em credit for that!

5. Yep, I wondered that too. At first thought it was to cover up the tRump and GOP crap, but

then someone told me it was to protect the van/evidence, much as all the doors, even the gas cap, were sealed with red tape.

7. Normal crime scene procedure
