As the plane cruised at twenty-two thousand feet, David Burke walked to the lavatory. On the way, he dropped a note in his supervisor's lap: "Hi Ray. I think it's rather ironical that we ended up like this. I asked for some leniency for my family, remember? Well I got none, and you will get none." He drew the .44 Magnum he had borrowed from a coworker, shot his supervisor, shot both pilots, and brought the plane down into the Santa Lucia Mountains. All forty-three people on board died. He had been fired that morning for stealing from alcohol sales. He was told to have a nice day. He replied: I intend on having a very good day.

Amy Bishop killed her brother with a shotgun at twenty-one. It was ruled an accident. She sent pipe bombs to a professor. No charges. She punched a stranger in a restaurant screaming "I am Doctor Amy Bishop." Probation. When her tenure was denied, she walked into a faculty meeting and shot three colleagues dead. The gun jammed. That's the only reason the count stopped there.

John Orr wanted to be a cop. He was rejected for psychological instability. He became an arson investigator instead, and set fires in retail stores using timed incendiary devices so he could investigate them. He wrote a novel about an arson investigator who was smarter than every cop. His fingerprint was on a device.

Orville Lynn Majors was called the Angel of Death by his coworkers. They took bets on which patient would die during his shift. He said old people should be gassed. A statistician calculated that a patient was forty-two times more likely to die when he was on duty.

Six cases. The same mechanism. The job was not what they did — it was who they were. Seven warning signs, including the capstone: the insider is the person the institution is least equipped to suspect.
