I wouldn't want to consider what your measure of "operational" is. Or what your view of "operational" concerning North Korea. Seems you would define some middle eastern kids playing in flight simulators as "stupid rich kids"...

"'It was more aspirational than operational,' said Pistole, the FBI's deputy director." The whole thing is starting to sound like a marginalized group who got turned in because someone thought they were suspicious. The FBI put together a sting operation where someone who posed as someone with Al Quida connections contacted them. Then someone in the group came up with the bright idea of trying to scam "Al Quida" by pledging to create an Islamic Army and take down a big building if they are given $50k, some rides, uniforms, boots and machine guns. 'Cause if they are going to be an army, then they need those things, right? Because these guys had no connections. $50k wouldn't have been nearly enough to fund destroying the Sears Tower. And despite Harris' suggestion that uniforms meant they wanted security guard or UPS uniforms, why boots? No, they were thinking along military lines. Which shows you exactly what they knew.
