Seems like our intelligence agencies are trying to create a sense of terror in the populace in their continued efforts to vilify Trump and his supporters.
FBI knows that dirty bombs aren't really WMD. Dirty bombs cause terror, but they do not cause much loss of life other than the initial blast. The bomb gives off its highest radiation field when the radioactive material is concentrated, before dispersing it in an explosion. If people can assemble the dirty bomb (very dangerous, requires know-how), it's no where near as acutely radioactively dangerous once detonated. Any unlikely deaths would come many years later from cancer, and only from those in the vicinity of the initial blast who were contaminated. If a dirty bomb went off, evacuate and care for the injured and cover mouth and nose if possible. Then go take a shower; you'll be fine.
Scare tactics. They have been using these for years in efforts to change opinions and behaviors and get compliance with the current Administration guidance or rules (e.g. COVID)
...
But the former bureau official appeared most concerned about a new bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI warning of a surge in 'violent threats' against federal law enforcement in the weeks after the raid.
The chilling memo, obtained by CBS News, states the agencies 'have observed an increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials and facilities, including a threat to place a so-called dirty bomb in front of FBI Headquarters and issuing general calls for "civil war" and "armed rebellion."'
