You're right, that's very suspicious; actually, after the fact we're beyond suspicious, we know there were up to no good.
It absolutely suggests wanting to hide some kind of criminal or illicit activity. It's by-the-book the advice to be found in all those "jihadi cookbooks" and training materials to be found on the Internet. Malik and Farook appear to have been excellent online students.
It's also what I would do if I were engaged in any sort of criminal activity. It's not indicative specifically of the particular crime of terrorism. Just common sense we all learn reading crime and spy novels and watching TV.
Rob, you're still trying to drag ISIS into it as the mastermind behind the slaughter in San Bernardino, because I guess that amps the adrenaline thrill to 11. But you're trying too hard. All the facts turned up so far say they were a lone wolf couple, not Agents of ISIS(tm). There but for an acronym goes a Marvel Comics TV show. But this isn't a comic book. There doesn't have to be a conspiracy or a network of terrorists. Just a synapse firing somewhere to create an on-the-spot terrorist and a pop-up terrorist act.
The mastermind behind the massacre in San Bernardino was an idea circulating invisibly around the world.
How do you kill that idea, Rob?
