Why didn't I hear of this until now?

fpbROCKVILLE, Md. - Police investigating a teenager accused of bomb-making and weapons violations found a map of Camp David with a presidential motorcade route in his home, a Montgomery County prosecutor said.
Collin McKenzie-Gude, 18, of Bethesda, also had a document that appears to describe how to kill someone 200 meters away, Montgomery Assistant State's Attorney Peter A. Feeney said.
The teen had two forms of fake identification — one portraying him as a Central Intelligence Agency employee and another as a federal contractor, Feeney said. The details were revealed Tuesday
District Court Judge J. Michael Conroy kept McKenzie-Gude in jail on a $750,000 bond, reduced from $1 million. The teen faces charges of weapons violations, possession of explosives and attempted carjacking.
Authorities said they found 50 pounds of chemicals, assault-style weapons and armor-piercing bullets in his home. The investigation has expanded to include the CIA, FBI and Secret Service.
A 17-yr-old was also involved, and they knocked down a 78 yr old man while trying to get the man's car keys and steal his car. They also had a list of teacher's home addresses.

"a document that appears to describe how to kill someone 200 meters away"
And that is .. a how-to? A book? I've had documents like that - training material distributed by the Marines. Not classified, just basic tactics.
Okay, the weapons, the bombs - that's a big deal, if the intent is to go nuts with them. On the other hand, the weapons might be legal - we don't know.
I get the sense from the article you quoted that this was stuff the prosecutors tossed in because they could.
It looks like a couple of whacked kids who wanted to do a Columbine. This is news but it's hardly 'stop the press' news, these days.
