  • 2. 

    Terrorist organizations have all the money they will ever need

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Terrorist organizations have all the money they will ever need" is false. While some terrorist organizations may have access to significant funds, it is incorrect to assume that they have all the money they will ever need. Many terrorist groups rely on various sources of funding, such as illicit activities, donations from sympathizers, or state sponsorship. However, these funds are not unlimited, and terrorist organizations often face financial constraints and challenges in sustaining their operations.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A bomb is the most common terrorist weapon

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because bombs are frequently used by terrorists to cause destruction and harm. Bombs can be easily concealed and have the potential to cause mass casualties and damage to infrastructure. Additionally, the use of bombs allows terrorists to create fear and panic among the public, making it an effective weapon for their objectives.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A terrorist attack is especially likely on a day  of national significance

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer being true is that terrorist attacks often aim to cause maximum impact and attract widespread attention. Therefore, targeting a day of national significance, such as a national holiday or anniversary, would likely achieve these objectives. On such days, there are usually large gatherings, heightened emotions, and increased media coverage, making them attractive targets for terrorists. Additionally, attacking on a day of national significance can also symbolically undermine the unity and stability of a nation.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A potential terrorist can gain access to a secur site by impersonating a security officer

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A potential terrorist can gain access to a secure site by impersonating a security officer because security officers typically have access to restricted areas and are trusted individuals within the site. By impersonating a security officer, the potential terrorist can exploit this trust and gain entry to the site, potentially carrying out their malicious intentions. This highlights the importance of thorough verification processes and protocols to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety and security of the site.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Terrorists need to "case the joint" or conduct survelliance of their target

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Terrorists often conduct surveillance or "case the joint" before carrying out an attack. This involves observing and gathering information about their target, such as the layout, security measures, and patterns of the people or activities in the area. By doing so, terrorists can plan their attack more effectively and increase their chances of success. Therefore, the statement that terrorists need to conduct surveillance of their target is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    To move their weapon into place, a terrorist always needs something huge, like an airplane

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that terrorists always need something huge, like an airplane, to move their weapon into place. However, this is not true. While airplanes have been used in some high-profile terrorist attacks, terrorists can also use other means to transport their weapons, such as cars, trucks, or even by hand. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    After the attack, the terrorists need to escape, unless it is a suicide attack.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because after an attack, terrorists would typically want to escape in order to avoid being caught or apprehended by authorities. However, in the case of a suicide attack, the terrorists do not intend to escape as their objective is to cause maximum damage and sacrifice their own lives in the process.
