Showing a keen interest in marksmanship, obtaining sniper-related books and other training materials, spending time at shooting ranges, modifying vehicles in a nontraditional manner, and purchasing rifles and associated optics may be indicators of potential terrorist planning efforts; however, most of these indicators can be associated with legitimate purposes.Well, thanks for that last bit.
Thing is, as I read through this report, it is just so...basic, I can't believe anyone in law enforcement doesn't already know this stuff. I guess that's why it's unclassified. If anything, the people who would be most helped by this would be the ones who want tips on what patterns and behaviors the authorities are looking for.
I do wonder about the classified stuff, though--what it talks about that they'd rather we didn't hear...
