How to spot terrorists according to the FBI

[rambone]

What exactly constitutes an official reason to be tipped off to the FBI and labeled a terrorist? Well the FBI has dispersed fliers to various industries and written customized lists of suspicious activities that they want shop owners to watch for. They are all pretty standard terrorist behaviors, hardly worth mentioning. But why not;

• Paying in cash.
• Asking for any privacy in the transaction.
• Paying in advance.
• Failing to pay rent on time.
• Having an odd schedule.
• Being unfriendly.
• Being a new customer from out of town.
• Being impatient.
• Buying large amounts of something.
• Signs of burns on your skin.
• Stains on clothing.
• Missing a finger.

Skim through the fliers and see for yourself. There may be other businesses targeted, but these were all I could find while researching. Gun shops also got the flier, although I cannot find a copy. But this news article has an interview with a shop owner who gives us a few clues about what is on that one. Buying large amounts of ammo, paying in cash, and buying gun accessories were amongst the terror traits.

Oh and here are some terrorist symbolism described in the MIAC report.

• Missing a finger.

I guess I'll be waiting on them to beat down my door now. Seriously, when will this madness end?

The signs they don't tell you about,

Being a war veteran

Buying more than one gun

Having certain types of bumper stickers

I am sure y'all can come up with more?

Having certain types of bumper stickers

I saw a bumper sticker on a Jeep with a California plate that had the Marine Corps eagle globe and anchor that said " Give war a chance"......

Another sign:


Posting on internet forums about topics such as SHTF, which gun is better for CQB and 1000yd shooting, how to make my hi-point FOOL OTTO, ....


Or, maybe that shouldn't be purple...I'm sure I just got myself on some lists just by posting that.

If you don't vote Democrat or republican

...and yet, we have members on this forum who believe that if a person is on a terrorist watch list, that is sufficient cause for them to be imprisoned, tortured, and/or executed without any kind of proof or due process.

The bar for declaring someone a 'terrorist' is getting lower all the time...

 

[ol' trucker]

I think we are all terrorist for talking about any of this.

At airports, being an old lady with white hair, or a 6 year old girl is enough to get you totally molested, but women wearing burkas are ignored.

So be friendly, pay with a credit card, and wear a burka and you will never be suspected of anything.

Not believing in the socialist state run schools teaching of evolution.

Does it really matter? At the end of the day in the eyes of those in power we are all terrorist. We own guns.
