Have you ever idly thought up a terrorist attack strategy?

This has always been obvious to me.

Why not just attack shopping centres? Undefended and very high density, fuck going after aeroplanes.

Or sports stadiums. During the finals.

Realistically if you want to kill millions of people you would do better to rely on their inherent stupidity. Make flying cars, or jetpacks, but not show people how to control them.
Invent a new poison that makes people lose weight rapidly before they die.
Buy all the supermarkets and replace all the till staff with self service checkouts with no attendants.

Or just tell people that you will give away a billion pounds to the winner in a huge arena fight to the death, no entry criteria, last man standing takes all.

No! Never! I promise, I'm a good citizen! No need to put me under surveillance!

Funny how paranoid so many of us get at the thought of someone identifying us for saying something on the internet.

The real question is...what would you say if you knew everyone could attribute everything that you said on the internet to you!

Well, i have not only though up but also wrote down multiple strategies how, having enough funds you could extremely safely smuggle nuclear weapons into any country. oen of them involves tractors with fake engines, woot. but trust me, those would definitely work. for obvious reasons i wont go into details that go technical of the legal setup of front companies for that since i dont want to be held responsible afterwards.
for other type of terrorism... well... i make something new every day, but not all is really going to work.
yes i have very violent mind. i dream about nuking new york and so on. but im not really going to become a terrorist jut because i could.

as far as books are concerned, here in Lithuania it is illegal to define the creation of explosives in any media. if you were to write formula of a bomb you would end up in jail.

The real question is...what would you say if you knew everyone could attribute everything that you said on the internet to you!

if they WANTED, they COULD. i dont hide my connection. but i say good, let them put the face to the words.

Lots of anxiety in this thread. The FBI doubtlessly doesn't care about your casual thoughts (Unless they do, oh lawd).

But basically, the simplest terrorism strike would be to get a big backpack, make some simple explosive, fill the backpack with it and a generous amount of metal shrapnel/ball bearings, rig a simple detonator, and go to the nearest festival. Wait until the biggest crowd congregates, initialise the detonation sequence, discreetly drop the backpack (maybe have it in hand instead of on your back to start with) and casually walk away.

Come to think of it, I kinda feel nervous now. Anxiety now not fully discredited.

Or you could travel around the country knifing random people in their sleep, leaving a racial tribute at each scene.

No but i do think up weird little assassination tools for example

Under the right hand below the wrist is a Hypodermic needle containing some form of slow acting but highly toxic/lethal poison.

The left hand contains a palm trigger that pushes the plunger on the hypodermic needle down on the right hand.

I would need to stalk my target in a crowded area like a town center try and find out where and when they are in areas with a big group of people.

I would need a long coat like a trench coat to conceal my hands.

Then i would either bump into the target from behind or from the front, yell oh christ sorry when i bump into them distracting them from the quick sharp pain of the needle and poisen going into them.

Then carry on about my way.

The tricky part i guess would be making sure the poison didn't sting like a ***** when it entered and then target.

'Course I have. Don't you think when I hear of all the 'mericans shopping on black friday, that I want to plant a hidden bomb at the entrance of every wallmart in the us. When I heard of the Dark Knight Rises shooting, I was surprised that it happened so late. Surely this can't be the first shooting at a major movie premiere. I mean, if you're a killer, then this is the perfect opportunity to kill, with so many people gathering at the same place.

I've never thought up a terrorist attack. Not that I'm taking a moral high ground or anything. I've just never really thought of one.

I've thought up plenty of bank robberies, hold ups and of other money motivated crimes though.
