There are only so many hours in a day for teaching, why spend it teaching a negative? Turn it around, use it productively. Sure, some may think about this outside of class without teacher guidance. But that is only some, a very small percentage. Teach this in class and 100% of them do.

It's not teaching them how to be a terrorist. They aren't learning about things like "how to blow up a bomb strapped to your chest" or "take this gun and shoot that guy." The teacher isn't telling them tips and tricks about being a terrorist. They are using what they already know and applying it to what they think a terrorist could do.
You don't think getting inside a terrorist mind is positive? I think it is. "Hey, that building is of high value with low security and if I wanted to attack it I could." It eliminates possible weak points. They are turning a negative (terrorist attack) into a positive (solving problems, thinking ahead and planning).
To me, that would be a fun project. I'd work hard and think critically about what could really happen. That would be my favorite class by far.
