Individual vigilance is vital to keeping our communities safe...I'm sure there is a line, that line between paranoia and actual concern, that we should not cross. Below is a quote that I think makes sense along with a list of recommended actions from the Terror Alert Center (and it comes with a snappy anachronism, too). I also recommend that you go to your local movie rental place is rent "Arlington Road"...one of the scariest movies I've seen yet. It deals with domestic terrorism, neighbor suspicion, and several other issues we currently face. Here is a link to the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_Road
“With respect to individuals and the private sector, we’re taking a much closer look at how we can support and inform our greatest asset, individual citizens, and with them the private sector. You are the ones who know if something is not right in your communities, such as a suspicious package or unusual activity,” Napolitano said.
What To Do If You Spot Suspicious Terrorist Activity
If you see suspicious behavior, do not confront the individuals involved.
Take note of the details:
S – Size (Jot down the number of people, gender, ages, and physical descriptions)
A – Activity (Describe exactly what they are doing)
L – Location (Provide exact location)
U – Uniform (Describe what they are wearing, including shoes)
T – Time (Provide date, time, and duration of activity)
E - Equipment (Describe vehicle, make, color etc., license plate, camera, guns, etc)
