 ⚡️The notorious absent-mindedness of terrorists

We’ve all heard how so many terrorists have downloaded how-to manuals on how to be a good terrorist. You would seriously think that these manuals, designed for global jihadists, would have an itsy bitsy mention somewhere: “DO NOT BRING ID ON ATTACKS!”

But no. From the Kouachi brothers in the Charlie Hebdo massacre (oops, left ID in the getaway car), to the Berlin Christmas market attack, (a rejected asylum claim which obviously the perpetrator couldn’t not take on his mission) to the famous “indestructible passport” miraculously fluttering down from the fiery infernos of 9/11.

Imagine being a terrorist in the middle of planning a major attack. You’re loading your ammo, double-checking explosives, saying a quick farewell to loved ones or comrades. Then, as you’re about to head out, you think: “Whoops, can’t go without my ID! What if I need to rent a car or open a library account midway through the rampage?” Because clearly, nothing screams “death to the West” like a laminated government-issued card.

And most recently, the Cybertruck incident in Las Vegas. Of course, “another” ID conveniently found in the aftermath. A massive explosion, a roaring inferno, but the ID somehow is only lightly scorched.

What are the odds? It’s as if terrorists have a fetish for paperwork. Maybe they’re huge fans of bureaucracy? They detest Western civilization but can’t resist keeping up with their driver’s licenses and passports. Sure, they’re fine with wielding Kalashnikovs, but going undocumented? Too radical.

They can smuggle weapons and explosives across borders but can’t remember to leave their IDs at home. Well done gentlemen. Your martyrdom may be messy, but at least you’re keeping the government’s paperwork straight.

It is almost as if the terrorists weren’t the only ones with how-to manuals.
