You mean the ones used on your avatar?

I've not read the article but I'd guess that the best means of holding the bad guys inside their perimeter is through the banking and overall monetary system. With so many things so highly digitized, even using cash to pay for larger ticket items become more noticeable. Try to use the black market and run the risks of encountering another bad guy who likes the number of zeros behind the NEAs 'package'.

Awww someone step on your self righteousness? Gee I'm sorry.

"He spoke about pushing the terrorist back to levels seen in the 70's, that is their reach is only to southern Europe, no that that is good but it illustrates that the war is working and has been successful thus far, and will continue to be."

Terrorism in all ages is bad.

Having made the obligatory on-topic statement I'll now say that your post is off-topic enough to become an off-topic casualty.
