Big Sis is watching.....

"During the Olympics, The Feds Will Be Reading Your Tweets – And the Blotter"

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/olympi...ory?id=9825070

"As the winter Olympics begin, the Department of Homeland Security has disclosed that it will be monitoring the comments and posts on websites and social media like Twitter for information on possible terror threats............."

I feel so much safer. Things will work as they should

I have an idea! Instead of giving 10,000 TSA screeners access to classified information, why doesn't DHS simply publish the no fly list?

I am totally serious. We don't need a security state policed by low-level bureaucrats in US airport security and consular affairs.

Just put the list online and let the open source community go wild with it. It could not be more chaotic that what the USG is already doing.



whoops . . . I was thinking about this article on TSA when I read Pete's post on DHS.

10,000 TSA staff to get secret intel

Yes at this time I am totally going to bomb something.... NO BUT WAIT lets blog about our feelings and our plans so the feds can read about it!
I cant even keep a straight face just thinking about what would go down in order for this to work?


My new joke with friends is if we have security or some form of watching we always say... MAN I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET THE TSA ON THIS?

I'm still amazed that Twitter even exists at all. What a useless waste of bandwidth. The world does not want or need to know every random and inane little thought that pops into my head. And I even if the world did want to know, I wouldn't WANT the world to know. I like vanilla. I'm going to eat hamburgers for dinner. OMG, Mike Patton's soundrack for Crank 2 is stuck in my head. OMG, I left my dome light on in my car and my battery iz ded, LOLZ. Oh, and what the hell happened to proper grammar and sentence structure? Everything these days is OMG WTF. Sometimes, too much technology can be a bad thing. Especially when it makes being lazy convenient. Greater than symbol, colon, forward slash.

And if I had to hazard a guess, I suspect that Olympics or no, Feds are still reading Twit, Facespace, and any other social networking site out there.
