that's just being smart. they're pointing out a potential behavior of terrorists. They're not arresting people merely because they are carrying an almanac, but it's something to raise suspicion, especially combined with other potential 'traits'. besides, how many people carry around an almanac anyways?

i see nothing of an arrest of an individual purely due to having an almanac in their possession.

The FBI noted that use of almanacs or maps may be innocent, "the product of legitimate recreational or commercial activities." But it warned that when combined with suspicious behavior-- such as apparent surveillance-- a person with an almanac "may point to possible terrorist planning."
