"Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities"

PITA? Really?

No FB, No MS, no Twitter, never had 'em, never will.

If you got explosives in yer bum, and ain't had no Taco Bell,

Youuuuu might be a terrorist.

Nothing to see here. Move along, citizen.

If you are breathing, youuuu might be a terrorist.

Well, duh.

It won't take long before the "terrorist" label is applied to anyone who does not accept the dominant political ideology, and right now, the dominant political ideology indicates that only criminals have something to hide. Anyone who doesn't allow direct inspection of all activities by authorities is, by their definition, a criminal, and so we're encouraged to report on anyone who attempts to conceal any activity from view.

FTA: In fact, the flyer recommends that anyone "overly concerned about privacy" or attempting to "shield the screen from view of others" should be considered suspicious and potentially engaged in terrorist activities.

Seriously, while you're paying attention to the "Circus O' Primaries", an authoritarian grip is being tightened around the country. Pay attention.

PITA? Really?

They needed something to go with "History Of Muslim Militantism Outside United States"

If you have a car bomb on speed dial, youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu might be a terrorist.

Oh Noes terrerizm!!!

That's me...all terrifying...

Government agencies use encryption. Terrorists!!!

I like pot. Therefore, want to destroy America. Therefore, I am a terrorist.

simply indicate that you are on a trip, is also considered a suspicious activity

Uh oh, my college LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) days are catching up with me.

Our kids and grandkids are going to look back at this era and wonder how we could be so farking individually and institutionally stupid.

I finally read Little Brother last night. Marcus was right.

FormlessOne: encouraged to report on anyone who attempts to conceal any activity from view.

All 11-17 year old boys are now terrorists, suspicious gooish liquid (and some dried white residue) has been found on all their computer keyboards and has been sent to labs for further analysis.

FTA: "attempting to shield the computer screen" may be related to terrorism... or porn.

Real Women Drink Akvavit: Government agencies use encryption. Terrorists!!!

If you're not more afraid of the government than you are of terrorism, you haven't been paying attention.

Xaneidolon: Our kids and grandkids are going to look back at this era and wonder how we could be so farking individually and institutionally stupid.

Assuming it gets any better, perhaps...

Remember, this is the same group (our government) that thinks veterans are also potential terrorists.

Goddammitsomuch... I've been telling people for almost 20 years that we need to ALL use encryption so that one day it didn't become something to be singled out.

Oh well. I guess the DHS can just pull all public keyserver records so they know who to put on their watchlist now.

Wow I thought/hoped subby was kidding.

I'm going to get a t-shirt with a big capital T on the front now, just to declare myself up front.

I tried hiding my government computer from view yesterday because I clicked on a the article about spider's with detachible penises.

1) I am a terrorist, or
2) I didn't want the word PENIS in giant view on my computer screen, or
3) PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS.

Herb Utsmelz: Pfft. Come after me, Big Bro.

the brothers at a chan will be right with you when you shut it off.

FTFY

It might be easier for the government to keep a list of people it doesn't suspect of being terrorists. My grandfather is both a WW2 veteran and dead. They can start with him. He's definitely not a terrorist.

If you are not part of the 1%, you may be a terrorist.

And somewhere, sometime, the roundup of the "others" will begin.

Afterall, the best thing we can do for the enviorment is a true populaiton reduction.

They are one and the same much of the time in my view.

Dear FBI and other like minded jackboot thugs: YOU'RE FIRED!

imontheinternet: It might be easier for the government to keep a list of people it doesn't suspect of being terrorists. My grandfather is both a WW2 veteran and dead. They can start with him. He's definitely not a terrorist.

How do you know? I have it on good authority that he has received military training AND has spent time overseas.

Walker: Are you breathing? You might be a terrorist. Wait, there are dead ones too, so if you are dead you might also be a terrorist.

Why do you focus so much on terrorism?

Terrorist!

Strik3r: No FB, No MS, no Twitter, never had 'em, never will.

I was just thinking this morning about how many people rag on Patriot act, online privacy etc.. but have a Facebook account.
Facebook is going to have the largest amount of personal mined data than anyone on this planet. I'm thinking about ditching FB soon just because of this.

Of course, one of the first steps in establishing your regime is disintegrating social cohesion by making people report on each other.

I think old Hank had the right message for government. (^)

litespeed74: I'm thinking about ditching FB soon just because of this.

those who do not give marketing data willingly are suspected of terrorists

If you are still on FB, it's too late.

You assume too much.

Such as - our kids will get to be that old.
Also - by then they'll have grown into it. It'll be second nature for them.
And - they'll wonder why we were so dumb not to have it in the first place.

I wonder what list(s) I may be on, just due to some of the shiat I've clicked on, googled, said on Fark.

Also on the list: "Evidence of a residential based internet provider (signs on to Comcast, AOL, etc.)" You're right, I don't know why anyone would want to check their email when they're traveling.

Hmm, this Terrorist thing is starting to seem as silly as the (second) Red Scare.

"Secret signs he might be a Communist Terrorist".

You know you all seem very against this... almost as if you have something to hide...

We have two friends left in the world.

Money and lawyers.

Try and get as much of the first so you can afford the best of the second to fight these farking imbeciles.
