I would be more careful when quoting Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama was the political and religious ruler of Tibet - dictator, to be exact. The Chinese army's "invasion" changed all that. Dalai tried many times to restore his ruling but failed. In almost all his failed attempts, he relied heavily on foreign countries such as USA, which made him one of the biggest traitors in the view of the Chinese.

Read it a bit and understand his life/history a little more. here, a piece of quote from wikipedia:

"However, during 1959, there was a major uprising among the Tibetan population... Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary teams from their Special Activities Division were responsible for the Dalai Lama's successful clandestine escape from Tibet and the initial resistance fighters in Tibet to the Chinese communist forces."

See how nicely they worded "paramilitary teams?"

I am sure we can pick a proper term which is widely used today.
Boy do you have some homework to do.

Re: deranged shooter in workplace DHS wisdom

In my arrogant opinion DHS has no wisdom. I worked for TSA early on, and this kind of thing was circulated even back then, drawing guffaws almost to the level of micturating in ones britches, until we realized they were serious.

Way back when, I submitted an article that I proposed to send to the NRA and various gun magazines about how to travel with firearms under the new rules. I was roundly rejected by upper level management because, I was told, it could be seen as partisanship in the political realm and lead to criticism.

A couple of years later one of those managers got promoted to a national level job, and an article under his byline appeared in the American Rifleman, almost word for word the same as the one I submitted.
