An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as “suspicious” and “potential indicators of terrorist activities,” instructing store owners to keep records on and report people who:

“Make bulk purchase of items to include:

Weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

Meals Ready to Eat

Night Vision Devices; night flashlights; gas masks

High capacity magazines

Bi-pods or tri-pods for rifles”

The FBI handout, entitled “Communities Against Terrorism: Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Military Surplus Stores” also instructs surplus store owners to:

“Require valid ID from all new customers.

Keep records of purchases.

Talk to customers, ask questions, and

listen to and observe their responses.

Watch for people and actions that are out of place.

Make note of suspicious statements, people, and /or vehicles.

If something seems wrong, notify law enforcement authorities.”

The handout also instructs surplus store owners to consider as “suspicious” anyone who “demands identity ‘privacy’” or anyone who expresses “extreme religious statements” and those who “make suspicious comments regarding anti-US, [or] radical theology.”

The “Communities Against Terrorism” flyer closes by stating:

Preventing terrorism is a community effort. By learning what to look for, you can make a positive contribution in the fight against terrorism. The partnership between the community and law enforcement is essential to the success of anti -terrorism efforts.

Some of the activities, taken individually, could be innocent and must be examined by law enforcement professionals in a larger context to determine whether there is a basis to investigate. The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive but have been compiled from a review of terrorist events over several years.

The handout encourages surplus store owners and employees to provide information on “suspicious” customers by calling the Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force or the Colorado Information Analysis Center. This handout is very nearly identical to one issued by the FBI to gun stores from Connecticut to Utah: PDF

This new handout expands the absurdity by now also targeting customers of military surplus stores, and by specifically targeting the purchasing of very common, and very popular, preparedness items such as Meals Ready to Eat (MRE’s) as “potential indicators of terrorist activities.”

While this particular handout is being given to military surplus store owners in Colorado, it is nearly certain that similar versions are being handed out by Joint Terrorism Task Forces in other states. Anyone who has seen such a handout, or who has a copy of one, please contact us at tips@oathkeepers.org. You know, “if you see something, say something!” It may be a potential indicator of government terrorist (tyranny and chilling of speech) activities. Remember, combating tyranny is a community effort and you can make a difference! – Oath Keepers

Don't cry. Nobody takes you seriously enough to suspect you of anything.
 
Here we see SmarterThanFew outside a surplus store with his buddies...

I can name about 20 people off hand who buys MREs in bulk who own literally no firearms or have any sort of survivalist intent beyond camping. Fuck the FBI.
 
It's truly ironic that the leftwingers who were foaming at the mouth over wiretapping are totally cool with the government spying on citizens. You are mindless robots and hypocrites to boot.

I work with a guy that buys them by the PALLET.

He is part of a backpackers' club, the club frequently goes in for a bulk purchase, it's cheaper!
 
I wonder which lame brained totalitarian moron came up with this idea.

Tell me, exactly what need would a TERRORIST have for large amounts of long-shelf-life foods and other emergency supplies? For terrorists to operate effectively, they need to be able to blend in while setting up their operations. They don't hide themselves away in a remote cave somewhere.

OTOH, when it comes to the current popularity of surplus and survival stores, all we need do is look at Katrina, with the way things were COMPLETELY FUCKED UP by the government, to understand why people living in areas where natural disasters can occur would want to lay in a store of emergency foods and other supplies. And the looting and violence that occurred because government was too busy whacking off in the woods explains the desire for firearms and ammunition.

A few aren't too bad. Others may as well be labeled "Waste, toxic (with beans)" They do make a reasonably convenient package to haul around for backpacking and such, but for emergency stores I prefer to purchase foods I already eat on a regular basis: canned vegetables and meats like chicken, ham and tuna, soups, both canned and dry, canned stew and chili, and trail foods like jerky (though I make my own rather than buy it), dried fruits and nuts, etc. This is especially important if you have kids. The disruption of life caused by an emergency is bad enough without having to serve youngsters food they are unfamiliar with, and probably won't like. The ability to serve up the same kinds of meals you'd serve on a normal day can go a long way in soothing the stress children will be feeling in an emergency.

Excellent response. The idea is to have a store of food in case of emergency. Not to stockpile "cool" military food.
 
So let me get this strait, the owners are supposed to ask questions of their customers then report them to the police if the answers seem, "suspicious" good one guys let's hope that the unidentified terrorist will spout fanatical anti-US dogma in the two minutes he's at the checkout counter.
