What The DHS Is Looking For In Your Posts
New submitter lister king of smeg writes "As we all know The Department of Homeland Security monitors social networks,in an attempt to expose 'Items Of Interest.' As it turns out many terms including seemingly benign words such as flu, agent, response, cops drill, etc are on the list of words that set off warning bells for the government spooks. Many of the terms make sense ..., but there are some real stupid ones on the list to like 'social network' ... [according to a] list of key words provided to a DHS contractor that were released by EPIC."
And I found a cool way to get a free gps receiver!
Just post the following words on your blog:
allah akbar, jihad!, white, house, flu, anthrax, bomb, airplane!, pope, my brothers!, 70 virgins, hail mary
... Tornado, Twister, Tsunami, ...
Are they trying to catch real-world terrorists or Lex Luthor?
They're looking for the coed naked twister parties. I haven't seen a t-shirt or hat with that phrase in probably 20 years...
Seriously though I hope they whitelist weather.gov or else a lot of mostly harmless meteorologists will pay the ultimate price in america's war on civil liberties err I mean terror.

I am going to blow up NYC by using terror, social networking, and flu. Agent orange is my favorite mixed drink.

Better yet, I had to get my kids inoculated with TAMIFLU and now can't afford to contribute to this year's IRA. I went to the TARGET last night in SAN DIEGO and had a conversation with a SMART cashier. She told me that she was an AGRICULTURE major before moving from EL PASO but decided that GAS was too expensive for that.
WOOT!
Hurricane, Tornado, Twister, Tsunami, Earthquake, Tremor, Flood
Are they trying to catch real-world terrorists or Lex Luthor?
They're looking for music pirates! Its a RIAA front! Beware!
Rock you like a Huricaaaaane... (a little over played, but good)
Pantera_Floods.mp3 (pretty good)
"Texas Tornado" by Bobby Braddock (note I spec'd music pirates, not "good music" pirates)
Earthquake by lil wayne (see above note x10)
I need some help w/ the rest...

Well, Homeland security also encompasses the Federal Emergency Management Agency, so they do have some real interest in getting the news fast if there is a natural disaster going on.
In that case, they should also watch for "aliens", "alien-human hybrids", "black oil", and "colonization".

I think we should find out all the words that they're monitoring, and organize a movement to have everyone slip them all into their facebook/twitter posts.
Hey everyone! I just dropped a dirty bomb in the toilet. So stinky!
or
I'm going to really attack the gym today, do some exercise drills. It'll be an explosion of activity!

I suggest that it would be extraordinairly fun to ranomly tweet gibberish (e.g. 2k34k34$$8djks-03-28378dk #DidYouDoThis?) on twitter and enjoy the fact that the best crypto people in the employ of 3 letter agencies will be frustrated trying to figure it out.
Seriously... the best way to confound such a keyword system is to make analysis meaningless.

but we are in the US, so we have square feet instead of square meters... which means it takes 9 times as many sensors!
Yeah and I can think of only two words scarier - President Palin.
