Seven Signs of Terrorism
The following is an e-mail my friend in Indy recieved this morning in preparation for tonights Final Four. I'm not really sure what is more frightening, the e-mail or the level of threat that a college basketball game can pose. Come on, do you really think al-Queda is going to bomb a college basketball game? What really bothers me is that it is obvious that the Federal, State and Local officials really believe that Indianapolis is important enough to become a target of international terrorism. I mean the the only thing that Indy can really brag about is the fact that they get the NCAA Final Four every year and that they have the better of the two Manning brothers.
The only thing this e-mail accomplishes is to successfully scare the crap out people. I mean read these things, do you really expect the public to decipher between what is supposed terriorist activity and homeless people drunk and dancing? So stupid.

Seven Signs of Terrorism
1. Surveillance: Someone recording or monitoring activities. This may include the use of cameras (either still or video), note taking, drawing diagrams,annotating on maps, or using binoculars or other vision-enhancing devices.
2. Elicitation: People or organizations attempting to gain information about military operations, capabilities, or people. Elicitation attempts may be made by mail, fax, telephone, or in person.
3. Tests of security: Any attempts to measure reaction times to security breaches or to penetrate physical security barriers or procedures in order to assess strengths and weaknesses.
4. Acquiring supplies: Purchasing or stealing explosives, weapons, ammunition, etc. Also includes acquiring military uniforms, decals, flight manuals, passes or badges (or the equipment to manufacture such items) or any other controlled items.
5. Suspicious persons out of place: People who don’t seem to belong in the workplace, neighborhood, business establishment, or anywhere else. Includes suspicious border crossings and stowaways aboard ship or people jumping ship in port.
6. Dry run/Trial Run: Putting people into position and moving them around according to their plan without actually committing the terrorist act. This is especially true when planning a kidnapping, but it can also pertain to bombings. An element of this activity could also include mapping out routes and determining the timing of traffic lights and flow.
7. Deploying assets: People and supplies getting into position to commit the act. This is a person’s last chance to alert authorities before the terrorist act occurs.
