The physical manifestation of stress and nervousness

All I can say is "I called it!" When I saw Zazi live on the news saying he has no ties to terrorists, I said to my wife "He's lying!" Not because I'm racist, not because I think all muslims are terrorists, but because he could NOT keep his eyes looking forward when answering those tough questions!
I am no expert on lie detection, but Zasi is no expert on deception. I am, however, an expert on the physical manifestation of stress. In Krav Maga, we purposely and methodically formulate ways to create stress in training every single day of the week. In our own training, we constantly work on creating stress and then finding ways to overcome it or, better yet, train in ways that solve the problems DESPITE the stress.
Now, here's what YOU should know and how I think YOU can help. When you are at large public events, mass transit locations, chemical or ammunition wholesalers, or schools and churches; BE ALERT! More importantly though, you need to know what to look for, and if you're not in uniform or obviously someone who could cause them a problem, then they may not show your their hand. So how do you look for it? Look like you ARE someone who is in charge! Walk with a purpose, be alert of your surroundings, and make eye contact with everyone. Imagine seeing someone talking to a friend. Now imagine that same person talking to a friend, but looking around and making eye contact with everyone walking nearby at the same time, and standing tall and alert. What would you think of that person? Someone who is up to something will be worried about being caught. The will PHYSICALLY MANIFEST that stress and nervousness by way of avoiding eye (and any) contact with authority figures. They will seem overly prepared for casual questions or contact, but may have to think way too hard about questions that they should answer easily....Not questions like "why are you here" but questions like "Oh, I know everyone here, who are you visiting?" And just so you know, any sentance starting with "uhhhhhh" is universal language for "I'm about to lie to you..."

I'm certainly not advocating taking any action, but do report anything you feel out of place to authorities immediately. It's not a crime to be wrong, but what if you're right? Zazi and his cohorts planned on killing hundreds of people, and paralyzing an entire city and mass transit around the country. The FBI did a great job, and we need to thank them all for saving our lives. But they can't be everywhere. There are no less than 9 more known cells in Denver. Do your part by simply walking tall and being a force to reckon with.
