Chapter 1 – Identify Your Motive

While considering a career as a terrorist you should always remember, you can’t be effective if people don’t know what the hell you are doing it for.

As I was driving today I heard this story on the news:

Great Falls student pleads guilty to impersonating FBI agent

GREAT FALLS — A 19-year-old University of Great Falls student has pleaded guilty to impersonating an FBI agent and saying he had a gun in his carry-on bag to see how personnel at Great Falls International Airport would respond.

Malik Hannabal Shabazz was arrested on March 5 as he was headed home to Washington, D.C., for spring break. An investigation determined that Shabazz did not have a gun.

He pleaded guilty to false impersonation of an officer of the United States during a hearing Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon.

Shabazz remains in custody and sentencing is set for Aug. 26. He was studying criminal justice at the university.

Now I don’t pretend to be an expert, but this whole thing makes no sense on several levels. If it was a joke, why? He apparently risked throwing away his degree program and future career for a lame joke that made no sense. If it was a dry run, it made no sense either, why announce your intentions, why not put something in your suitcase that looked like a gun? If you were after a racial profiling lawsuit you wouldn’t announce something to draw attention, you’d put something in your case that looked suspicious.

I’m at a loss here, if anyone on Blogmocracy can come up with an idea of what the hell was running through this idiots mind, please speak up.
