Eric Holder has been encouraging law enforcement agencies to work with business owners to alert police when customers appear to be stockpiling items. An example was given that a federal agent was monitoring customers at a well known hunting and fishing retail outlet and noting who was purchasing certain items.


Various common materials which may be associated with homemade explosives are listed, such as lengths of pipe, gunpowder, matches, flammable liquids and fireworks. Officers are told when these items are found, they can be listed as “bomb making materials”. Items that are cleverly disguised as legitimate, such as gasoline stored near a lawn mower, pipes stored in a shop building or gunpowder stored with reloading materials.

Certain ideologies by linking an erroneous characteristic to a particular group. Here are some examples:

•These groups hold the anniversaries of certain dates as significant such a Ruby Ridge, Waco and Hitler’s birthday
•They oppose abortion, support gun rights and are affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan
•They are fearful of big government, espouse support for the Constitution and want to kill police officers
•These groups collect firearms, survivalist books and explosives
•These extremists read books such as Patriots, One Second After and The Anarchist Cookbook
•They are religious zealots, reading the book of Revelation, speak of the second coming of Christ and plan mass murders to summon the end of the world
•These people grow their own food, raise livestock and plot attacks on commercial food production facilities..
People who have strong views of the U.S. Constitution. These people actually believe the Second Amendment gives them the personal right to own a gun.  Be cautious of anyone who quotes the Constitution and even worse, actually possesses a copy of this radical document.
