• Suicide bombers, as in the case of recent attacks, may be in a hypnotic state, highly focused on entering heaven.  This may translate into steely focus and confidence.  Unlike others around them, they make little eye contact, may not be interested in even the opposite sex, unless intercepted.
• They may walk intently towards a specific target or destination; and may seem to be whispering or talking to themselves even though some ordinary people too tend to talk to themselves or on a mobile device.
• Most would-be bombers will have a higher body temperature and may sweat profusely.
• Higher percentage of suspects may be young, strong and educated – possessing the physical, mental and tactical prowess required for the world’s ultimate job.
• About a quarter of suicide bombers on record were reportedly between the ages of 24-48.  The list has included few children and women, too.
• At opportune times, they may make a great effort to blend in, making it look a bit unnatural.
• If carrying a heavy backpack, the heaviness may be able to be judged by the rather long steps they take, often with each leg extended forward, in order to balance the upper-torso weight.
• On their final journey you should not expect a jihadist to have the trademark long beard or long hair.  In fact, the would-be bomber is likely to have shaved and cut his hair short.  Sometimes, you may just be able to tell if a man has just shaved his beard after a long spell.
• Peculiarly, suicide bombers were said to have used heavy perfume – herbal or floral, just to prep them for their arrival in heaven.

Even though we take overt precautions in the aftermath of devastating tragedy, humans tend to forget and quickly get on with their lives.  This we should not.  Meanwhile, suspicion can also lead to trouble, often victimizing innocent people.  So exercising caution is crucial.

How to stop a suicide bomber!

Let’s say you think you just spotted a suicide bomber. What do you do?

• Extreme caution is the rule of the thumb.  You could be wrong and may endanger an innocent civilian.  On the other hand, if you challenge the suspect, you may force a detonation.
• Once suspicion seems valid, observe to see if the suspect is likely to have reached its target.  If the situation does not permit you to safely alert others, quickly walk away.  If more people observe and do likewise, that’s the best action.
• Alert authorities as soon as you can.
• At times like these, it may be handy to learn and teach the theory of deduction.  Attention to detail, quick thinking and commonsense may just save the day.
• Not all bombers detonate the explosives with a hand-held device; there may be a second operative within eye-sight.  All advantages are loaded against the victims, so it is a desperately difficult scenario.  There’s very little one can do but it’s good to keep the options open.

The research team was able to detect a person wearing wires simulating a suicide vest beneath their clothes at 25 meters. The inventors believe the new security device could be used from checkpoints to shopping malls and busy streets but needed further work in order avoid false alarms that may be triggered by jewellery and under-wired bras.

Analysts believe this device could be better deployed alongside such new technologies such as smart surveillance cameras designed to identify suspicious behaviour, and infrared imaging devices which look for explosives belts on the premise that they are cooler than the body. A complete system could help not just the Police but security officers who could spot bombers from afar allowing for timely action.

The recent terror attacks in Sri Lanka may just open the door to bringing the new anti-terror devices into the market and defence analysts believe the recommendation to the US government may just come from the reports from international investigators currently in the country.

While Sri Lanka languishes in the bottom quarter, coming right on top as the world’s happiest country is Finland, followed by Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.  USA drops one down this year to 19.

So, what makes Sri Lankans so sad?  Income, social support, healthy life, social freedom, or the lack of it and corruption in abundance!

Now, this is really sad for such a small, yet abundantly blessed islands in the world known for a happy and hospitable people, says Dr. Dinesh Watawana, Sri Lanka Update’s, chief socio-economic analyst.   At the center of the cancer that’s eating into our collective happiness is greed and indiscipline – where more and more people, from top to bottom are driven by a single-minded fixation for quick gain where values have taken a long holiday, he avers.

The global survey by the UN points to widespread unhappiness caused by ‘addictions’.  Addictions come in various forms and include money, worldly desires, substance abuse, gambling and even digital media.  Our desire for economic success at any cost coupled with vanishing values and good work ethic allows criminal thinking to seep into our minds, says Dr. Watawana who holds a Ph.D in Criminal Psychology and an MBA in International Business.

We may be getting unhappier- largely due to a breakdown in national leadership but Sri Lankans have been endowed with the ‘perfect medicine’ for true happiness – found in the precepts of Buddhism, Dr. Watawana says.  Happiness is a state of mind and that index lies within our minds, he added.

Want to be happy?

Quickest way to becoming happy!

It’s a decision – one that turns into habit.  We either keep complaining about what we don’t have, envy what others have and find quick fixes, or we decide to appreciate what we have that many others out there may not, and start smiling for the slightest reason.  Start being happy, one hour at a time and watch the magic!
