How to spy on your terrorist neighbor

Does your next door neighbor purchase heapin’ helpin’s of fertilizer from Home Depot? Is he growing an epic beard? He may be more than an annoying hipster experimenting with urban homesteading. No, no—it could be worse. He could be a terrorist. Danger Room highlights a pamphlet “prepared by federal law enforcement to help you navigate the uncertainties of an age of homegrown terrorism,” which you can download here. Snip:

Say something!
