Are you a terrorist suspect?
Did you support Ron Paul for president last year?
Do you believe there are people actively working to merge the U.S. with Mexico and Canada?
Do you display an American flag?
Did you ever display a Libertarian Party bumper sticker on your car?
Do you buy gold?
Any of these characteristics might lead law enforcement authorities to conclude you represent a danger to the republic. You are more likely to be a militia member or a domestic terrorist, according to a document distributed to Missouri police and, potentially, law enforcement authorities nationwide.
That is the stunning news from a Feb. 20 report called "The Modern Militia Movement," which identified these "red flags" or warning signs.

Good afternoon sir. Could I see your papers please?
Thank you sir. Just give me a minute and I’ll be right back. I am sure everything is in order...
Sir would you please step out of the car? We seem to have a discrepancy here. There’s a couple of things in your file my supervisor wants to ask you about. It’ll only take a minute. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please keep your hands where I can see them. Good thank you sir.
Sir, would please lean forward on your car and keep your hands up? I’m not under arrest am I officer? No sir. It’s just a precautionary measure we have to take. Thank you for your cooperation.
Good. Now sir, would you place your hands behind your back? Are you arresting me? No sir, again it is just a precautionary measure we must take. Good, there you go.
Please continue to lean face forward on your car.
Now sir, do you have any weapons or any contraband in your car? Yes I do. What do you have? I have a 357 magnum in the glove box for self defense. Do you have a permit for it? I served in the Marines and I wasn’t aware I needed a permit to defend myself. That’s not what I asked you sir. Do you have a permit for it? No.
All secure Sgt Brown. This one is ready for processing.
Now please follow Sgt Brown. He will take you to the command truck where Captain Rogers will interview you.
Good afternoon Mr. Jackson. Please have a seat. Capt Rogers, could you please remove these cuffs? I am not a terrorist. Sorry Mr. Jackson, can’t do that.
Now Mr. Jackson, my trooper informs me you have a gun in the car. Is this true? Yes. He also says you don’t have a permit for it? Is this true? Yes but but ...I’m asking the questions here. Now, according to your file, you are a poster on an internet website that supports gun rights and the Constitution. Is this true? How would you know that?
This will go a lot smoother and a lot faster if you’ll just answer the questions Mr. Jackson.
Typical WND story.
Just hope that they don’t come crashing down on us first, and we get some advance warning.
If it gets to that point, you can’t allow the cuffs to be put on.
