The Alarm Has Been Ringing: It's Past 9:11 and Time to Wake Up! » Publications » Family Security Matters: "and Time to Wake Up!

When I returned to the U.S. in 1981 all I wanted to do was enter law enforcement. The problem was I was way ahead of the times.

My resume, like all others in the early 1980’s, had a short and long term objective across the top:

“Short term objective: to secure a position with a law enforcement agency. Long term objective: to specialize in anti-terrorism.”

During an interview with the F.B.I. the interviewer read my objectives aloud and laughed as he said “this is America, we don’t have terrorism”.

I shot back with “wait ten years and remember the word Jihad”. Needless to say, the interview ended shortly thereafter and I did not get the job. Also, needless to say I was off by two years."
