I agree with Undertoad. This is a silly graphic. First of all the terrorist in the 9/11 attacks had niether guns (they used knives) nor masks (why hide when you are going to kill yourself.) A better representation would be a picture of the bill of rights burning, because what is really happening is congress is taking away our civil liberties in the name of "terrorism" (a la McCarthyism sic?).

Side note: this is a blown up flatbed scan of a lapel pin. My guess is that it is not an "official" graphic but something for the spooks to wear to feel better about themselves. Also it looks like the AK-47 toting skier depicted on the pin is smiling =)

Correction this is an official graphic on the cia home page.
