Probably the same reason that the FBI didn't catch the 20 terrorists
that wanted to learn to fly commercial airliners, but weren't interested
in learning how to land them.
Since 9/11, if something isn't a direct threat to national security
brought about by foreign terrorists, or those perceived to be foreign
terrorists, Homeland Security and the FBI don't want to hear about it.
A couple of years ago, a friend who teaches at Northern Arizona
University asked Janet and me to do a disability awareness presentation
to her Intro to Special Ed. class. There was a woman in the class who
was getting her teaching certificate who was part of the polygamist
sect. They are easily recognizable, especially in the general
population. She looked like Ma Ingalls from Little House on the
Prairie, while the other women in the class were in shorts and t-shirts,
as it was a summer class (even in Flagstaff, it was in the mid 80's).

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950

Yes there is finally some movement but lots of mishandling by
authorities as well. Tell me why our premier law enforcement the FBI
cannot pick up a 6 1/2 foot tall man traveling around the country
with a gaggle of girls in nineteenth century dress and a dozen armed
bodyguards. Warren Jeffs has been on their most wanted list for over
a year and one half and we've reported his whereabouts twice and both
times they blew the pick up. It's distressing because every child
inside that compound is at risk.
And don't even get me started on the subtle effort to legalize
polygamy in this country tying it to gay rights.
