The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

First, you need to be from a dangerous country. In general. And then you usually have to show you are in danger there.

So I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm a terrorist but I say I'm from Yemen and I'm being oppressed. Or how about this one: I'm really a Boko Haram dude but I say I'm a Christian fleeing oppression. Easy peasy.

The risk is too great if your intent is bad. Better to avoid the authorities. Or use state sponsorship to get documents, either forged or legit (or diplomatic, in the case of China).

You're making the mistake of assuming all terrorist operative are the same. They're not.
They'll send the foot soldiers who don't know any operational details over the way I'm describing.

The planning people - the ones in charge - they'll have the sophisticated travel docs with a bogus cover ID.

Again, the dems have to start thinking like somebody who wants to hurt the US if they want to get ahead of a US-version of 10/7.
