On the terrorism enhancement, Siddiqui argued the use of the word "calculated" implies an element of long-term planning.
The panel disagreed, saying "calculated" is the equivalent of "intentional" and the enhancement "is applicable where a defendant acts according to a plan, whether developed over a long period of time or developed in a span of seconds."
Dawn Cardi argued for Siddiqui.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jenna Dabbs argued for the government.
