It states in this report on pages 11-12, that law-abiding Americans exhibiting any of these characteristics to be potential extremists and right-wing terrorists:
- Americans who "are fiercely nationalistic, as opposed to universal and international in orientation"
- Americans considering themselves "anti-global"
- Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority"
- Americans who are "reverent of individual liberty (especially their right to own guns and be free of taxes)"
- Americans exhibiting a belief in "conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty and a belief that one's personal and/or national way of life is under attack"
