how by attempting to fly somewhere to join up with nefarious groups makes you a terrorist.

Now, if the kid comes back after jihadi training, and does something stupid, I can understand arresting him.

Hopefully, he will be arrested before he does said stupid thing.

Really have a problem with arresting teens before they have done anything stupid.
