They are "casing the joint", or gathering intelligence.
All preparation for an attack.
When the men entered the school, one headed directly to a nearby restroom, Dickan explained, while the other was confronted by a school employee. The man speaking with the employee inquired about admission to the school for a family member, Dickan added. The employee explained that the school did not have 15-year-old students.
The second man then went to the restroom before the two left the building,

Sounds like a quick alibi to give reason for being there. Seems like they either planted something small in the bathroom, or met there because it was a private area to have a quick conversation.
Watch this school, and other's like it. This was a dry run. Next time, it may not be so quiet.
All I know is those guys certainly don't look like parents about to pick up their children from school.
It's like they went to a store to get the latest "Al Quada" outfits.

This really set off the red flags for me.
- obviously a K-4 school (signs would have been posted) but asking about placement for a 15-year-old student.
- Asking for a bathroom is some of the oldest tradecraft in the book
- Sunglasses not removed indoors (not entirely unusual though)
- No distinctive marks, men look in decent physical shape
- Operative surveillance is typically done in pairs.
Something dark about this one. Could be nothing but it could be everything we fear....an attack on our children which would force every working parent in America to keep their kids home and neutralize the economy. Think about it.
