7:34 am
the reason they have done this, mike, is because these individuals are harder to track and they are easier to slip through security. nobody expects a blonde hair, blue eyed like a jihadi jane american women with the passport to be something who wants to do a operation. >> they have been talking about some of the tweet she had. at what point do they say. at what point do you know this is someone we need to be tracking. >> well, they have been tracking her since august of 2013. what couple this young lady was the proliferation of tweets, the proliferation of e-mails that she was in touch with a somalia based al qaeda operative oral that bob operative from the minnesota area. she wanting to overseas. she wanted to participate in an operation. she said it would be awesome to do that. when you see that proliferation people take notice. the the fbi especially takes

notice. >> so she says i will come over there and i will blow myself up. she says that would be an amazing. >> how is it recruiting is it mostly internet. >> it is usually social media a lot of people in these cases are sometimes that live in the fringe. they don't after lot of success in their lives. maybe they are looking for their 15 minutes of fame. they use social media and internet, mike. >> do they pay a, like she said that, i mean she's living in public housing, right. she's able to buy a ticket to bars loan at the first leg of the trip. now will isis oral kada pay for your airline ticket and stuff like that. >> in this case they were trying to raise money to get her own ticket overseas. she had to do that herself. i don't think they have any packages where they are sending people overseas, first class or business class. i think in many cases they say
7:36 am
if you can get over here and dot operation, great. but we're not bringing you over on a one way ticket. >> i know you mentioned earlier the proliferation have of tweets until it was flagged to starting looked at by fbi. why wait two years. why wait until she already has the the ticket. >> well, you want to make sure that the individual is in fact an individual of interest. and an individual who will go operational. and there are times, and when iowas in the the department of home land security, we often saw people doing things that were more as preparational then operational. so you want to make sure that this person is the real deal. you will play this out a little bit n this case they got her right before she was going to board a plane essentially. they raided her house. she was going to go the next day. >> more than likely you can get a conviction, instead of just sending tweets. >> very next day, she was arrested. >> jack, thank you. >> yes. thank you very much. there was also interesting
