Here's how they say to deal with suicide terrorists:

Suspicious Individual (Suicide Attack)

A suspicious individual is a person whose demeanor arouses suspicion. This person’s behavior is unusual, strange, and out of the ordinary. Signs that arouse suspicion include:

· The individual seems excited and/or nervous, or is perspiring more heavily than normal.

· The individual seems to be secretly cooperating and communicating with various people, making various signs and gestures in their direction.

· The individual’s appearance is odd, and doesn’t seem to fit his/her personality, or his/her clothing is not seasonal (e.g., wearing a heavy coat on a hot day).

· The individual gives the impression s/he is hiding weapons in his/her clothing.

What Do I Do If I’ve Identified a Suspicious Individual?

If you have identified a person as suspicious, maintain eye contact with him/her, and, in as unobtrusive a manner as possible, report your suspicious to security forces and/or people in charge (the administrator or guard of an institution, a driver or guard on public transportation).

To the extent possible, keep the suspicious individual away from others in the location, and try to keep a crowd from forming.

Right....
