The New Jersey Jihadi DVD Mistake

The real hero of the Fort Dix attack plot is the video store worker who reported these would-be jihadis, when one of them brought in a terror training videotape he wanted to transfer to DVD. Big LGF kudos to this unnamed person. Let’s hope CAIR doesn’t sue you.

But we should be glad that holy warriors are often not the sharpest tacks in the drawer. Just as Richard Reid would probably have succeeded in his shoe bomb plot if he had stopped at the gift shop and bought a cigarette lighter instead of using matches to light his shoes, these guys could have gone to Radio Shack and bought a CameraMate VideoSafe for $40.00, and transferred the tape themselves.
