The point of this activity is to impress upon you the diversity of individuals and weapons/tactics used by this small sample of terrorists. Anyone can be a terrorist. They are not all male, they vary in age, nationality, and physical appearance. They use a variety of weapons and tactics. Also notice that most of these acts were perpetrated using or against *transportation assets.
DO NOT PROFILE! Profiling is a practice in which a person is singled-out because of their gender, race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. You are to focus on suspicious behavior(s) to determine whether someone is a threat or not. Suspicious behavior(s) will be covered thoroughly later in the course.
Optional Reading:
