1. I think...

I think what likely happened is somebody saw "Weapons of Mass ..." and thought it might be a how-to manual. The person likely phoned it in on the "better safe than sorry" premise.

Then, the FBI showed up to find out what he was really reading. Once they saw the actual article, and realised what it was about, they were satisfied it wasn't a threat.

I don't think the FBI has the manpower to chase people down and intimidate them on their choice of progressive reading material. Not yet, at least.
