They store their equipment and materials somewhere. They need vehicles. They have people who help them - and these people might come and go at strange times of the day and night. They may make unusual financial transactions or use false documents to hide their real identities. They may be behaving differently to how you've known them to behave in the past. If you suspect it, report it. You can also give non-urgent information that may assist police investigations online through www.online.police.uk. Van – Terrorists need transport. If you work in commercial vehicle hire or sales, has a sale or rental made you suspicious? Passport – Terrorists use multiple identities. Do you know someone with documents in different names for no obvious reason? Mobile phone – Terrorists need communication. Anonymous, pay-as-you-go and stolen mobiles are typical. Have you seen someone with large quantities of mobile phones? Has it made you suspicious? Camera – Terrorists need information. Observation and surveillance help terrorists plan attacks. Have you seen anyone taking pictures of security arrangements? Chemicals – Do you know someone buying large or unusual quantities of chemicals for no obvious reason? Mask and goggles – Terrorists use protective equipment. Handling chemicals is dangerous. Maybe you’ve seen goggles or masks dumped somewhere. Credit card – Terrorists need funding. Cheque and credit card fraud are ways terrorists generate cash. Have you seen any suspicious transactions? Computer – Terrorists use computers. Do you know someone who visits terrorist-related websites? Suitcase – Terrorists need to travel. Meetings training and planning can take place anywhere. Do you know someone who travels but is vague about where they are going? Padlock – Terrorists need storage. Lock-ups, garages and sheds can all be used by terrorists to store equipment. Are you suspicious of anyone renting a commercial property? # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org ----- End forwarded message -----

Terrorists have to live somewhere.
Indeed. And so do police. And politicians, and bureaucrats and TSA gropers. Get out and talk to your neighbors and find out what they do for a living. If they're evasive, there's a good chance they work for the government. (Or are drug dealers or something, but at least in the US, the number of government employees greatly exceeds even the highest estimates of the number of drug dealers.) This information may come in useful someday.
We all work for government unless tax avoiders. Latest guesstimate is 33-45% of pay goes to governments at all levels and those subsidized by governments. Some argue we will all become full-time government workers happily having DoD do what's necessary to bring in 100% revenue by piracy. Reason: citizen tax squeeze is rising as wealthy and corporations shed tax burden by NGOs, off-shore evasion, moving HQs overseas, hiring, manufacturing and financing overseas, massaging taxation laws, bribing revenuers and office holders, increasing crackdown on citizen tax deductions, hiring more private police to intimidate those asking for better pay, offloading environmental crimes to taxpayers, buying legislators to enact favors for high-profit, high-income beneficiaries, controlling and ffixing elections to pack offices with sleazes who work for them before, during and after holding office. That's the short list. Look at your tax due instructions for the long one. Or if youngster, your student debt draconian provisions. Dream of being on the dole by holding political office, or NGO, from which you can escape the long list and shift it to citizens wondering if the increasing shit shower ever stopping.
