Seven Signs of Terrorism
Certain activities, especially those at or near sensitive facilities, including government, military or other high profile sites or places where large numbers of people congregate, may indicate terrorist planning phases. Suspicious activities of interest that should be reported to law enforcement are commonly referred to as the 7 Signs of Terrorism.
Surveillance: Recording or monitoring activities. May include drawing diagrams, note taking, use of cameras, binoculars or other vision-enhancing devices or possessing floor plans or blueprints of key facilities.
Elicitation: Attempts to obtain operation, security and personnel-related information regarding a key facility. May be made by mail, fax, e-mail, telephone or in person.
Tests of Security: Attempts to measure reaction times to security breaches or to penetrate physical security barriers or procedures in order to assess strengths and weaknesses.
Acquiring Supplies: Attempts to improperly acquire items that could be used in a terrorist act. May include the acquisition of explosives, weapons, harmful chemicals, flight manuals, law enforcement or military equipment, uniforms, identification badges or the equipment to manufacture false identification.
Suspicious Persons: Someone who does not appear to belong in a workplace, neighborhood or business establishment due to their behavior, including unusual questions or statements they make.
Dry Runs/Trial Runs: Behavior that appears to be preparation for a terrorist act without actually committing the act. Activity could include mapping out routes and determining the timing of traffic lights and flow.
Deploying Assets: Placing people, equipment and supplies into position to commit the act. This is the last opportunity to alert authorities before the terrorist act occurs.
You might want to look for commonality with pirates & global warming which could bring it full circle...
I have a feeling the universe could then collapse.
Picky, picky, picky! You forget that the scoundrels are MAKING the rules up as they go along. They change them to suit their whim. I see the day coming when the Constitution is rewritten using an Etch-a-Sketch.
"The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind" and boy, does this blow.
But think of all the free publicity he'll get when his Chinese-produced product gets condemned for leaking toxic everything into the environment, the workers all turn out to be slaves, etc., etc., etc.
Good on you. I suspect when the chips are down you simply eat them, as does the OP.
You also could probably get a job (and more importantly succeed at it) in any field because you have critical thinking skills.
That's the biggest difference I see in so many job candidates.

Mebbe Microsoft will finally take a tumble for aiding terrorists.
Or they could do something really novel like let *me* handle *my* own money bypassing SS entirely. Kinda like, oh...Congress is allowed.

After looking at the picture I imagine they are calling it Blood Falls because Diarrhea Falls wouldn't be quite so compelling.
FBI...RIAA...What's the difference anymore?
from the government and I'm here to help you.

So I understand you to mean I should stop using my potatoe to surf the web?
What's the difference?
why they need high-tech to study tomatoes when anyone can make a passable BLT. Then I read it again. I do need new glasses.

Completely disconnect kids from reality AND factual history and you've got a guaranteed pliable population. Works for me.
Nope! A politician.
