A flyer designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity. The document, part of a program called “Communities Against Terrorismâ€Â, lists the use of “anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address†as a sign that a person could be engaged in or supporting terrorist activity. The use of encryption is also listed as a suspicious activity along with steganography, the practice of using “software to hide encrypted data in digital photos†or other media. 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.Logging into an account associated with a residential internet service provider (such as Comcast or AOL), an activity that could simply indicate that you are on a trip, is also considered a suspicious activity. Viewing any content related to “military tactics†including manuals or “revolutionary literature†is also considered a potential indicator of terrorist activity. This would mean that viewing a number of websites, including the one you are on right now, could be construed by a hapless employee as an highly suspicious activity potentially linking you to terrorism.

There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.

Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.
Porn peddlers peddling pedal porn? My life is complete.
Okay, I downloaded and looked at the flyer. I now think this is being blown out of proportion by both the OP and the article. Shame on you guys for fear-mongering! The flyer actually makes some good points.

I say that the FBI immediately make all of their confidential documents public.After all, if they aren't doing anything wrong, then they have nothing to hide, right? Isn't that what they're telling us?Quote from: B-Man on February 03, 2012, 08:28:02 pm...Okay, I downloaded and looked at the flyer.
