I don't know which is worse, the fact that there were that many people looking for him and they shut the entire city down, or the fact that over 10k police, drones, helicopters, CCTV, and all their technology couldn't find him, yet some regular Joe did when he went out to have a smoke.
If you think back to the "Beltway Sniper" who killed 10 people back in 2002 and how the police reacted to that vs these two guys who killed 3 people, I also think Boston went overboard. Without saying it, Boston was more or less under a light Martial Law. And they still couldn't find him. Why didn't they react in the same manner towards the sniper who killed more people and continued to do so until he was finally caught? Or any threat for that matter, like the guy who had a bomb in the van in Time Square not too long ago.
