The enemy among us. President Trump’s national security ban addresses these kinds of threats.
The reward is part of the program offered by the U.S. State Department in concert with the FBI. Public service ad campaigns announcing the program were banned from Seattle transit systems because Muslims found them “disparaging and offensive to Muslims.”

FBI announces $3 million reward for help finding Iranian who sourced IED parts from Minnesota
Stripes, By Stephen Montemayor | Star Tribune | Published: November 23, 2018
MINNEAPOLIS (Tribune News Service) — Federal authorities are offering up to $3 million for help arresting an Iranian national who has been on the run for eight years since an indictment accused him of illegally procuring technology from Minnesota that was fashioned into roadside bombs used to target U.S. military personnel in Iraq.
The FBI in Minneapolis announced the reward, being offered by the U.S. State Department, on Tuesday. Agents have sought Hossein Ahmad Larijani, 55, since his 2010 indictment by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on multiple charges related to the shipment of radio transceiver modules made in Minnesota. Larijani is believed to be living in Tehran, the FBI said this week.
According to charges, Larijani relied on companies in Singapore and Iran, and several co-conspirators, to illegally send about 6,000 of the Minnesota company’s devices to Iran.
Referred to only as Company A in court documents, the Minnesota firm thought it was sending the devices to Singapore to be used in a “local telecommunications project.” Instead, authorities said, the products were illegally transshipped to Iran and later used to make remote detonation systems for improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
According to a 49-page indictment in the case, IEDs caused about 60 percent of all American combat deaths in Iraq between 2001 and 2007 and were the top threat to troops in Iraq. Between 2008 and 2009, U.S. and coalition armed forces retrieved numerous remote detonation systems in Iraq that had been assembled using the modules shipped from Minnesota.
The company’s modules had encryption capabilities and the ability to transmit data wirelessly from as far away as 40 miles, according to charges.
“In addition to commercial uses, these same modules have other lethal and destructive applications,” the indictment said.
Three other co-conspirators have since been arrested and extradited to the U.S., where they completed federal prison sentences and were deported back to Singapore. One other co-conspirator remains at large in Singapore, the FBI said.
The FBI this week described Larijani as an “international flight risk” and is asking anyone with information to call the bureau’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

You are not alone. Does this woman or little girl look like she is hiding IED parts? Or how about the 96 year old WW2 vet in a wheel chair, is she hiding something? MUSLIMS get a free pass when they look middle eastern otherwise they will be offended as other non Muslims are humiliated.

I’m 76 and was completely groped AFTER I was x-rayed just 3 years ago in the Omaha airport. Next time, I’m telling them to not touch me, but to take me to a private room where I will strip to the skin! I will NEVER let them touch me again!

well let’s see, the last time i went thru tsa in denver, where as an old white guy i have flown out of probably 500 times in the last 25 years (obviously making me a muslim terrorist suspect), the bomb dog took an interest in me, so i had 4 tsa monkeys all over me for 15 minutes, sirring me to death, one with his latex-gloved hands down my pants everywhere while all of america walked by to watch the spectacle. the head monkey finally asked me if i had any idea why the dog took an interest in me. i told him i had crackers in my briefcase, and asked him if they had fed the mutt recently

The dogs only take an interest in you if they smell nitrates. That can come from a number of sources–hygiene products, shoe polish, something your hands or clothing came in contact with.
Thanks to the Arabs we have this cockeyed security system. The real way to do this would be a short VSA voice-stress-analysis or polygraph test. I can relate one terrible story. A neighbor, age 72 put a tampon in his butt to make sure his lack of bowel control wouldn’t embarrass him. When they found it they laughed out loud and told everyone about their finding. A few inquiring-minds asked him about it on the plane. Stories like that make me not want to fly anymore. Hope you had a good holidays.

You’re right but we still need to take precautions because a lot of those guys can’t tell the truth. Hey man, I have a kid sister who moved to Denver with her Israeli/American husband. They are good folks, feel a little alone. Possibly, if I sent your her e-mail address you could tell them about the town–nice places to eat. I can reciprocate by offering you a place to stay if you ever come to Hawaii. We are a paradise separated from the troubles of the world. Kona = same weather, different day. We have some gorgeous tsa gals, one named Lehua who looks like Raquel Welch. Sometimes I go down to the airport just to watch the planes, when she’s working. Pays to have some change in your pockets. Have a nice day! Ben

i have had the privilege of vacationing on maui many times over the last 40 years, and you don’t have to convince me about paradise. those afternoon trades that blow on the wailea side of the island are intoxicating, as are many other things there. maybe lehua has a cousin working the maui airport?

I love Maui, and am looking at it right now from my window as I’m typing. Lots of work out here for us guys, both for retired LE and private investigators. Remind me some time to tell you about my UFO experience–even those guys like this place. Keep the faith. Maybe Lehua does have a family member at the airport, in Maui.

Yes, we should halt all immigration from Muslim countries until they can pass a polygraph test that they aren’t associated with terrorists and love America. As for the tsa groping, some of us older guys have to pay a lot of money for that. Who else touches us?

That certainly makes a difference! My thinking is similar to yours. Why not close down all the strip joints and Las Vegas shows and use those gals to feel us up? I’d tape a nickel down there just for them to find. Have a nice day!

Obama did NOTHING to get this guy. Obama hit the ground running with destroying us and bringing this filth into our country. Notice this guy was indicted in 2010!

Can’t trust these foreigners. Said that over and over. Yet, you are teaching them at your schools, employing them in the private and public sector, electing them to Congogress, hiring them to work in the military industrial complex.
Heck, you even made one “PRESIDENT” and broke your sacred documents to do so. Historians will write how your country committed suicide with no explanation.

American RICO statutes (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) were intended to go after the mafia. The acts of Islamic mullahs and jihadis clearly falls into the same pattern as the mafia. The only difference being, Islam’s claim of an oddball form of “religious legitimacy”.
The US should use the RICO statutes to, declare Islam, a criminal enterprise. Then close Islam down as it presently exists in the US.
RICO allows the government to follow crime and money. Then, arrest all, and confiscate anything in its path.
You can be sure the movement of money for jihad is widespread. You can be sure the incitement and communication between mullahs and mosques is wide spread. You can also be sure there is foreign involvement. The RICO statutes were made just for this type of activity.
Use a small army of CPAs and attorneys to investigate every jihad attack. Follow 100% of the money back to its source. Track anyone involved, in any way. Then use the RICO statutes to jail, confiscated, and shut down all involved. That includes:
M1 – Shutting down mosques involved in any jihad attack.
M2 – Arrest mullahs involved.
M3 – Follow, and confiscate, all jihad money back to its source.

Why do western countries like the US and Europe U insist on importing more problems? What’s with “islam” always getting the benefit of the doubt on any issues (schools, housing, genital mutilation and forcing their religion on school kids?)? When you have people that are sworn to destroying us, why do we keep letting them in? It’s time to “back up and regroup” on our immigration strategy before the unthinkable starts happening in response to our government abandoning our security, and letting danger import itself here.
