Spy vs. Spy: Feds now want reports from retailers: Only days after Barack Obama ordered all federal workers to watch their colleagues and report whatever suspicious behavior, the FBI has rolled out a video encouraging everyone in the nation’s retail industry to call police when there are unanswered questions.
The video, which appeared Thursday on YouTube, carries the message that terrorists are just around the corner, and all Americans need to keep an eye on their friends, family and neighbors. Those who are in retail, it says, are specifically are positioned to derail terror plans.
The video, prepared by the FBI, features John Perren, chief of the agency’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, Chemical Countermeasures Unit.
He suggests a customer is suspicious if he’s vague about the use of a purchase, there is an “unusual preoccupation” with a product’s chemical composition, the customer is “new or unknown,” a buyer is unwilling to provide ID, cash is used or the purchase is for unusual quantities or is out-of-season.
If there is any suspicion, the video says, call the nearest FBI field office.
