16. Do you know what they call conspiracy theories that are shown to have happened?

Conspiracies. (h/t to Tim Minchin.)

19 Al-Qaeda extremists hijacking four planes, crashing three of them into buildings (two of which fell), crashing a fourth into a field after passengers revolted? That's a conspiracy.

A third building with unusual structural design collapsing hours later due to a prolonged, unfought fire at its weakest point? That's physics.

But the OP's assertion that simply promoting or believing a conspiracy theory about 9/11 is sufficient in and of itself to merit official suspicion as a terrorist? That's hogwash.
