Well THAT narrows it down.

That might involve profiling. Can't do that.

"Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i. e., Disneyland , Las Vegas casinos, big cities ( New York , San Francisco , Chicago , etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc.,as well as rural America this time ( Wyoming , Montana , etc.). The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities,including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas , they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away."
If this happens, if our schools, churchs and malls become unsafe from these kinds of mass-murdering techniques, I'd hate to "look Islamic" in this country.
There are 10's of millions of armed citizens in this country that WILL NOT STAND for this type of danger to hang over their heads, and over the heads of their families and friends, for every moment of every day.
If you think "driving while black" gets some folks in trouble, wait until "being seen while swarthy" gets you killed - shot down in the streets. Just in case...
And another thing... In the parts of the USA where this will happen routinely, you WILL NOT be able to seat 12 people on a jury to convict anyone of this type of crime. It just simply won't be possible.
This type of crime (or guerrilla war on US citizens) will almost instantly cease to happen in large parts of the USA. It will only continue to happen where sheep-like pacifists let it happen.

At his level of experience the Aviv fellow doesn’t do well with overall policy prescriptions but at his level of expertise, predicting acts and finding and eliminating perps he is probably the best there is and knows what he is talking about. For all that, I suspect his predictions for the next few months in America are extrapolations,rather than hard knowledge. That is why the breadth and lack of detail. I see it all as pretty likely. The timing may be determined by calculations regarding the coming election which might put it all off until next year but, thus far, the Jihad has seemed to ignore political calculation altogether in its timing.
I am not so optimistic as to reactions of the people. If these attacks occur after we have a Hussein presidency, I would look for the federal police and the military as well as the local police in our more PC cities and states to rally to the side of the Arabs among us to protect them from the citizenry. Aggressive Gun confiscation in Massachusetts and California is almost a given, to start. Some places, if the people fight, they will be fighting their own government. I am not so sure it would beany better if Bush is still in office.
Lots of good information from this person. I have no idea of his credibility but if his past predictions were correct it may be something to look out for. Also am concerned about the inability to use cell phones, blackberry etc in emergencies. I had not heard that. Thanks for the info.
You guys are gonna kill me for not formatting this, but its great info:
Israel, which has experienced over 300 such bombings since 1993, with 242 of them occurring since 2000, has developed some guidelines and profiles that highlight the general characteristics of a suicide bomber.2,3 These include:
32% have at least a high school education and more than 25% have some college background.
Suicide bombers participate in months of indoctrination training. When ready for the mission, they are in a hypnotic state believing that the mission will open heavens gates.
A majority of suicide/homicide bombers are unmarried. Some have spouses and children.
Most are male between 1723 years of age; however, women, children and older men have been recruited for suicide bombing missions.
The first known suicide bombing by a woman (January 2002) was carried out by Wafa Idris, a 27-year-old divorcee who volunteered as a paramedic. More recently, Reem Raiyshi, a 22-year-old mother of two, perpetrated an attack at a border crossing between Israel and the Gaza strip. The media have reported recent attacks by Chechen rebels, whose suicide bombings have mostly been carried out by women. It is generally believed that the Chechen women were not acting on religious fanaticism, but rather avenging the deaths of friends or relatives in the conflict with Russia.4
Approximately a quarter of suicide bombers are between 2448 years old. There are also reports of attacks carried out by children and by older individuals, although exact numbers are uncertain.
General Demeanor
Certain behavioral characteristics of a suicide bomber have been identified.4,5 These include:
The appearance of being nervous. They may seem preoccupied or have a blank stare.
Focused intent and vigilance. Such an acute focus may result in no response to verbal or other contact.
An awkward attempt to blend in. Behavior will seem odd or overtly out of place.
Avoidance behaviors toward authority. If security is present, suicide bomber tries to be inconspicuous.
May be praying fervently to him/herself. This gives the appearance of talking or whispering to someone. Keep in mind that many people talk to themselves, thus this behavior in and of itself has little meaning. Further, either of these behaviors could be confused with speaking on a cell phone headset.
Behavior may be consistent with that of a person without any future. For example, giving away things of value, buying a one-way ticket, or being unconcerned about receiving change for a purchase. In addition:
Profuse sweating that is out of synch with weather conditions.
Walking deliberately toward a specific object or target, often pushing their way through a crowd or around barriers. May show a high degree of focus or intent, especially if the target is in sight.
Lack of mobility of the lower torso may cause upper body stiffness. This is due to the bomb device that is strapped to the body. The increased use of backpacks may reduce or eliminate this element.
In order to disguise the appearance, a beard may have been recently shaved or the hair cut short. There is a noticeable difference in the skin color of the recently shaved area.
To smell better when going to paradise, the suicide bomber may use herbal- or floral-scented water.
General Appearance
As the event draws near, the suicide bomber needs to prepare to deliver the device. There are certain clues in appearance, such as clothing, that could foretell of an impending attack. The suspect might be purchasing, wearing or carrying such items as:
Clothing that does not match the weather. For example, wearing a heavy coat on a warm day.
Clothing that is excessively loose, giving the appearance that the head is out of proportion with the body. The loose clothing is used to conceal explosives worn close to the body.
The suicide bomber may carry a backpack, bag, briefcase or luggage.
The detonating switch is often held in a clenched fist. Backup devices might also be used, including a timer, pager, cellular phone or booby-trap switch. An accomplice or supervisor can remotely detonate the bomb if the attacker is detained or killed, or if the attack is otherwise aborted.
The appearance of excessive weight. Many bombs will be packed with shrapnel such as ball bearings, nuts, bolts, screws, nails or other small metal objects that are dispersed into the crowd upon detonation. These comprise the bombers primary kill mechanism.
Role of EMS
As I have been lied to more times than I can count, where is backup info that this guy truly predicted 7/7 and 9/11?

No kidding. With predictions like this, who can miss?
