They're not like us. So, you know we should be scared of and hate them.
"Terrorists could theoretically use ..."
What couldn't terrorists theoretically use? The next successful attack will use things they didn't think of. It's not like we had thought of crashing planes into skyscrapers. Oh wait, we did.
This sort of "intel" is an utter waste. The signal to noise ratio sucks so bad it just gets ignored. Military and our leaders need actual information on what the opposition is doing, not theoretics.
This is just security theater meant for internal military consumption.
