NYPD- Sweating Clubbers Could Be Bombers
New York cops have issued a new ‘Best Practices For Nightlife Establishments’ guide for nightclub owners, which includes a detailed section on how staff should identity suicide bombers.
As well as looking out for ‘two or more people communicating and trying not to be observed’, staff are advised to be suspicious of clubbers in fancy dress (‘individuals who are obviously disguised’) and ‘individuals whose speech includes stuttering, mumbling or chanting, or are hesitant or unresponsive’ (‘like every buzzed nightclub patron’ as the Smoking Gun puts it: http://bit.ly/ngyKLV ).
“There are many factors which may create suspicion of this activity,” the police guide continues.
“ (Such as) individuals with obvious signs of extreme stress or nervousness, such as bulging veins in the neck, profuse sweating, shaking hands, touching the face continuously, involuntary motions, apathy, distant stare or unfocused gazing, feeling the body continuously.”
