The page states the following body counts: 95 Jihadist 51 Far Right Wing.

(bottom of the page)

So not quite 2x.

> Only in the past two years have there been more jihadist deaths. > In reality the KKK has killed more people than all jihadists combined. That is one group.

I am not familiar with the history of the KKK, but are they still a threat?

If you consider the recent incidents: Paris (how many times!?), Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Nice, do you really believe Right Wing groups poses a greater threat?

The study linked in your article has been updated (Spoiler alert: Radical Islam has retaken the lead by 2x)

> B-but you are more likely to be killed by white trucker driver falling asleep than a jihadist truck hijacker.

Misleading much?

Re:International Travel Guide for Basecamp employees on Wednesday May 03, 2017 @06:53AM (#14254560)
I'm calling bullshit on this story. I can't find any reports of TSA conducting these types of cavity searches. Ever.
