Thinking like a terrorist or criminal
August 31, 2005
I hope someone at Homeland Defense has thought of this…
You’re a terrorist operative in the States. When is the highest-leverage time you could possibly strike?
Exactly – just after a staggering natural disaster.
Thieves and grifters
A sad story in the hands of a con-artist is like Snap-On tools in the hands of a mechanic; exactly what they need to get the job done. With the total evacuation, every surviving con in New Orleans is about to be dumped on the rest of the country with a ready-made sad story. And con-artists from the rest of the world will exploit the tragedy, too. Look for your email inbox to fill up with urgent requests for help… some may be legitimate but the signal-to-noise ratio will be very bad.
Just sayin’
