Via Cyrus Safdari a flyer (front, back) by the Counterterrorism Intelligence Unit of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The title:
This brochure is intended to provide information that will help YOU to help US in our everyday effort to identify and stop terrorism-before it becomes a deadly and tragic reality.
The flyer goes on to list "Some Characteristics of Terrorists":
- Typically focused and committed to their cause.
- Team oriented and very disciplined.
- Trained to be familiar with their physical environment whether it be a 747 jumbo jet or a courthouse.
- Will employ a variety of vehicles and communicate predominately by cellphone, E Mail or text messenging services.
- Well prepared to spend years in "sleeper mode" until it comes time to attack.
- In many cases may appear to fit in and not draw attention to themselves.
- Will appear normal in appearance and behavior while portraying themselves as a tourist, student or business person.
- May be found traveling in mixed groups of men, women and children of varying ages who are unaware of their purpose.
- Trained to avoid confrontations with law enforcement and therefore can be expected to portray a "nice guy" image.
- Known to use disguises or undergo plastic surgery especially when featured on police wanted posters list some.
Cyrus admits that he fits all the above. I am now preparing an email to the Special Crimes Service of Texas to turn him in.
Who else here do I need to list?
Confess!
Okay, I will add myself. I also fit the above and even some other additional criteria laid out in the flyer.
Recently, I made a large cash purchase of beer, wine and liquor. Texas seems to have reason to suspect that terrorists are doing such. I also own a relative large amount of clothing, especially of Levi jeans. This, according to the flyer, is another of many sign that I am a terrorist.
At least in Texas, where everything is a bit bigger than elsewhere.
