This isn't one of my virtues, but I am very impatient when standing in line at the grocery store and the lady in front of me is making a big deal over 25 cents and holding the line up. That doesn't make me a terrorist. Not until I take my can of Ragu and hit the lady in front of me over the head with it ;-)

Food for thought.

I was at a Memorial Day service today at a public building with military significance, and you better believe that I was conscious of the people and situation around me. I wasn't paranoid--just aware.

Pushing a baby carriage through a crowd.

Fans of "La Femme Nikita" know what that's all about. Perfect cover for a terrorist.

"A blank stare"

Man, I am sooooooo busted.

Although right wing extremists....

Like the one that came in from Canada to blow the space needle in Seatle????? Dayamn!!! I thought Janet Reno was out of the DOJ!

This is what Israel lives with everyday. Unfortunately, we will have to face these kinds of threats here now. I would hope that the authorities would be vigilant in checking the behavior of people to help prevent attacks.

A terrorist, Homeland Security officials wrote, may be detected by his "Pale face from recent shaving of beard," or by "No obvious emotion seen on the face" or "May appear to be in a 'trance.'"

"Male bombers may also dress as females in order to discourage scrutiny," the directive says.

Wait till Hollywood hears about this

I would think real terrorists would want to blend in more and be volunteers...and use their affirmative action rights to govt jobs ...such as or including.. police, fire, emergency, and the military including the national guard

In a recent memo to police, the Homeland Security Department said local officers should watch for anyone who "may show arrogance and hatred toward Americans through bragging, expressed dislike of attitudes and decisions of the U.S. government, superiority of religious beliefs and difficulty tolerating proximity to those he hates."

We should see lots of islamonazis freeping if this is the case.

So let me get this straight...

If you are pregnant, have a newborn baby that you push around in a baby carriage, bathe frequently, use perfume, shave your legs, become surly in crowds, feel superior to others and let them know it, but tend not to show obvious emotion on your face, which is pale from recently shaving your beard, and take drugs which make you appear to be in a trance, you may want to send your husband out to do the shopping for a while.

I'm sure the millions of people who fit this description to a tee are outraged, simply outraged at this obvious profiling of them.

Paging Mr. Cochran, Mr. Johnny Cochran...

"Although right wing extremists have not carried out a major terrorist attack in recent years," the bulletin says, "they continue to engage in nationwide recruitment, organization and, in some cases, paramilitary training."

The so-called militias were formed in response to Bubba's crimes. Why would they attack at all? Anyway, OKC bombing was orchestrated by the Iraqis, not the so-called militias. Bubba used the OKC bombing to score political points against Conservatives.

[Kay Soze]

I have lived behind the Iron Curtain.

No the US is in no way shape or form a police state.

[Timesink]

Other bulletins are disturbing.

Why is blatant left-wing opinion in the middle of a NEWS article?

Oh, right, it's a US newspaper.

"Although right wing extremists have not carried out a major terrorist attack in recent years," the bulletin says, "they continue to engage in nationwide recruitment, organization and, in some cases, paramilitary training."

DING! DING! DING! Liberal hit piece alert!
