Terrorism AwarenessQuestion 188 of 200
Which of the following is NOT generally listed as a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) behavioral indicator under the Nationwide SAR Initiative?
a.Repeated photography of security cameras, access points, or critical infrastructure with no apparent legitimate purpose
b.Probing security responses (e.g., setting off alarms to test response time)
c.Acquiring large amounts of materials usable in attacks (precursor chemicals, weapons components)
d.Routine visits by a building's regular employees during posted business hours
Explanation
Nationwide SAR Initiative indicators include surveillance, photography of restricted/critical infrastructure with no apparent purpose, eliciting information, testing/probing of security, breach/attempted intrusion, misrepresentation, theft/diversion of materials, acquisition of expertise or supplies, weapons discovery, sector-specific incidents, and expressed/implied threats. Routine employee activity during business hours (d) is normal and not a SAR indicator — SARs require articulable behavioral concerns, not status or appearance. 28 CFR Part 23 governs intelligence-system criminal information standards to prevent unconstitutional reporting.
