But if you are going to shoot the waiter when he brings the falafel because you think you heard him talking a blowing up a school, get a good lawyer, and prepare to spend a non-trivial amount of time in prison.

High 5

This is exactly the kind of things that worries me about this fantasy scenario.

And just think about this, "the authorities refuse to act".

Look, we are living in the post-911 age. Where somebody darting past a security screening shuts down an airport for hours. Where just the suspicion of "Terrorist Activity" brings in everything short of an M1 tank and an air strike to bring the perps down. And I am supposed to believe that the Government will refuse to act?

The more I hear of the scenario, the more I hear "psychotic paranoid individual". The authorities are refusing to act, because the individual learned about the attack from the neighbor's dog. And they are doing nothing because the individual is clearly a nutcase.
