FBI's Facebook Monitoring Leads To Arrest In England
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports that armed police were called to a UK school earlier today after being advised of a potential threat by the FBI. The school stated that the FBI 'raised the alarm after Internet scanning software picked up a suspicious combination of words,' strongly implying that they are carrying out routine, automated surveillance of social networking sites. While in this case it does appear that there may have been a genuine threat, the story nonetheless raises significant privacy concerns."
The school uses MS Comic Sans font on the sign to their entrance. They deserve all they get!
(Note to the FBI: This is just a humourous crack. I'm not threatening to blow the school up, okay?)

Shit. Piss. Fuck. Cunt. Cocksucker. Motherfucker. Tits.
C'mon. I'm waiting for you.
Remember kids, the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover is watching everything you do ... and so is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.
yes, but only one of them is masturbating furiously over your profile pictures.
Anybody who know, or knows, how to use a BBS should be considered a criminal because that's where the hackers get their anarchist cookbooks and pixellated bitmaps of Heather Lochlear nude and phone-phreak boxes and Jolly Roger Cap'n Crunch whistles to illegally steal long-distance phone calls.
Hey man. In 1986 I had a high-quality Commodore Amiga with 4100 colors and hi-res 704x480 graphics. No pixelated nudity for me. We're talking near-photo-realistic here - like watching television. Yep. 32-bit cutting-edge technology is the way to go.
(whispers). You got that new game? MicroProse's Strike Eagle? I have a cracked copy downloaded fresh from Europe on my faaaaaast 2400 bit per second modem. Also some topless Italians if that's your thing. ;-)

An online confession to having hacking hardware, and pirated software. Are you sure that was the best thing to do?
Well, and an admission that you still have your archaic piece of equipment. At least you didn't admit that you really spend your weekends playing C64 games.
Don't worry, you have been under surveillance for months. We've just been waiting for probable cause to come in. Just wait for the interrogation. Just so you know, we'll be taking you to a base so secret, even the Pentagon doesn't know about it, and you'll be so far underground, it'd be faster to dig to China to make your way out. Don't worry about your friends and family though, all they'll know is that you died in a tragic car accident, and the body was unidentifiable, except for the wallet that somehow survived the fire.
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
No can do. TSA told me to take them off.
