Although this is not strickly Objectivist, it is something we should be aware of. It basicallyy is saying the EU is incompetent, and since we know our government is equally or worse, this is something that may warrent attention. They found 6 "middle eastern" men 20 miles into the US with stainless steel cylinders in backpacks. Gee, what do you do with those? I'm leaning towards profiling...

    Indeed, one wonders why this is not a mainstream discussion, seems sort of serious in my humble view....

    For most terrorists they like to change out targets, tactics, techniques and technicals. Keep the other side guessing and guarding the wrong areas. In doing so piss off the population

    Some exceptions were targeting US Style supermarkets in or near areas of extreme poverty and then opening the doors for looting by locals.

    Other repeat occurrences were banks if they needed money or pehaps just opened the doors and let local looting take care of the contents.

    Meticulous planning and rehersals were the hall marks.

    Terrorism changed when it became important to leave lots of collateral damage (innocent bystanders) bodies laying around and people screaming for protection thus the cycle of repression began as required measures and suspensions of civil liberties were shut down. Government then started being the bad guys while real bad buys were liberating a super market.

    A third edition when the Islamics added suicide missions. Nothing new just the end result. Jumping on a hand grenade and winning a Medal of Honor, buying a pill in Oregon, smoking two packs a day for thirty years, strapping on a dynamite vest, playing Russian Roulette 6:1, going to war with the Democrats vs. the Republicans the current odds are 18 soldiers dead in a Dino War to 1 in a Dumbo War. the diffrence is in odds and degrees of relativity. Still all of them are an individual killing their own selves. Politics, Religion, are the reasons but the choice is made by the individual.

    .The absolute dumbest reason I've ever hears is aborting a male fetus so the son wouldn't get drafted.

    The latest step is the government using the same steps and any old crisis for an excuse to reverse the goal - in their favor. That's part of how our nation lost this last go round.

    Actually something of substance was accomplished from Bush I to Clinton to Bush II and Obeyme. We became a police state and lost our constitution. The rest of it is pure economics - Greed fueled by Hate and a public that is only too willing to allow the first and provide the second - on command.

    Else why would they vote for the cause every two years?

    The article states:

    Already, British police forces have been conducting exercises on how to deal with various types of terrorist attack. But the EU report claims that government should 'consider publicly addressing the possibility of terrorist attack using chemical, biological, radiological or even nuclear materials'.

    Perhaps NATO should reassess where the real threat to Europe (and the world) originates, and join forces with Putin and Russia. Instead of alienating him.

    I would not be surprised.
    That's another reason why I will call myself Islamophobic before the PC Police can beat me to the punch.

    One of the recent Jack Reacher books by Lee Childs has our hero on a subway and applies those Israeli methods of on the spot profiling listing each of them in turn. Forget the name of the book but it's worth the read if only for that one section and the discussion that surrounds it.

    For two thirds of WMD they don't need to smuggle it in country for one third it's usually just a matter of buying readily available chemicals in common use for other purposes....changing the delivery system. Buying a large farming system would answer most of those requirements.

    It's also interesting the way they do airport security. They don't bother with the mechanical searches. They train their agents to spot the tell-tale signs in facial expressions during questioning. And their track record is flawless. Just goes to show how useless the TSA is because they are being used to run machines instead of to profile people.

    As in they are now eligible for Darwin Awards or they will be removed through Darwinian selection? Either probably applies... ;)

    Man! If this is to be War to the Death, we'd better
    get prepared. It looks to me like if something is
    to happen, it will be in the next year or so, while
    Obama is still in office.

    I am in the real world, the 40% with internet has limited bandwidth but the real word in the USA says you must individually be able to handle ten times what our local systems handle for everyone. Which means they aren't going to do business with the super bandwidth advertisers.

    Exactly, John. They have something we lack: competent security and intelligence services that do their job. They do not waste time looking for frivolous political motivated "enemies of the state" like ours do. There for, they actually get the job done.

    That is mean spirited, racist diatribe! You will soon have a yellow sticker on you mail box and be carted away for re-education in the States policies, and correct thinking.
    Actually, that is exactly the right idea. Trump may be a loon, but he does get to the heart of an issue and point out what is not working. His solutions are sometimes a lot of vague blather, meaning he does not have any better idea, but this time he is on to something. Stop, and let them in slowly and carefully. My question was how does an foriegn looking person get to go buy lots of guns and bullets and not raise a question, even after the fact. I know gun dealers are probably loath to be called racist anti everybody pigs, but a phone call may have helped here. No one is talking about the guns or the money, and that is where they all went wrong. As O'Reiley pointed out, Americans are buying guns because of Obama, not in spite of him.

    Because SA just gave the Obamanation a 1.5 million payoff last year. I am willing to bet they have been schmoozing the Europeans as well. You do have the right objective, though I wouldn't limit it so much.

    Dino,I have become so thick skinned to this BS use of labels. I am pointing out that this is really disturbing in that their incompetent government is the same as ours. Meaning we probably have the same issue and it hasn't been hacked out of the Imperial database yet.

    Not sure if Europe will ever wake up and disengage from their political system of peace, love, good socialism, and no involvement. If Paris does not wake them up, they are in a Darwinian moment.

    Exactly, and the Obamanations speech was such drivel as to be reason for impeachment and toss his sorry ass and his herd out. Hire a few thousand unemployed and get better service and some work done, as they are not all politically indoctrinated drones who lie,cheat and steal. Obama is the antithesis of a president if ever there was one.
