I like that he covers his ass by saying "terrorists and other groups" have been changing their habits. "Other groups" probably means stuff like Occupy, animal welfare activists, other sorts of scary 'fringe' groups, and probably rank-and-file citizens too, but it's a useful way to bulk up his claim a little more.

- steveklabnik 13y agoThe animal rights movement and anarchists have been referred to as 'domestic terrorists' by the FBI for quite a while now, and Occupy has gotten that mention once or twice. Not to mention the whole Tartan thing: http://rt.com/usa/trapwire-abraxas-cubic-surveillance-251/ http://rt.com/usa/trapwire-abraxas-cubic-surveillance-251/
