Everyone's a potential terrorist. Spy on your neighbors, spy on your children, if you see something say something. Live in fear of terrorist boogiemen around every corner! (in spite of the fact you're more likely to die getting struck by lightening or drowning in a bathtub than dying via a terrorist attack)

Is your wife turning into a confrontational hag? She might be a terrorist. It does tend to make you ugly:


Up-and coming Chechen revolutionaries, sporting sweet 80s hairstyles.


Father still has fashion sense, bomb momma full of grimace lines.

According to Lisa Monaco, counterterrorism chief, if a parent sees they might be potential terrorists...

Um, isn't the word for that 'adolescence'?

When your kids are born, put them in a box. Make sure there's a hole big enough to feed them, and remove waste.

When they turn 13, plug up the hole.

It was taken out of context by the article you quoted. I provided the context and linked to a transcript of the speech.

I think it was pretty clear it was meant to be in the context of some of the other warning signs (like interest in extreme political views, etc.) But even those are pretty common among teenagers. It's common for teen boys to have passing interest in subjects like anarchy, Hitler, etc.

My guess is they were thinking "in conjunction with things like hanging out with radical imams" and stuff like that but didn't want to come out and say it.

That actually makes it worse. The "signs" are so vague as to mean nothing. A student wants to visit Israel, He's a terrorist!!!! A kid gets a zombie video game, he's a terrorist!!!! A kid questions his pastor, he's a terrorist!!!

The 'terrorist' appellation is the article's creation, not hers. Of course, getting a new video game is hardly a 'sudden personality change'.

Amen.

OK, "violent extremist"

Be careful, you are hanging out on a website where.... MUSLIMS sometime post! And you seem very confrontational!!!

Next thing you know, you will argue with Cow Poke, who is a pastor!

I think I need to report you to Homeland Security or the Men in Black. Just stay right where you are, Mr. Violent Extremist!

Yeah, but RogueTechJunior made a smouldering pile of ashes out of my box.

Once the kids realize there is no wifi or cellphone service in Taliban country, they will give up this foolish idea.
