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!

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!

or

Molly, I really loved seeing you tonight. Happy Birthday! Chemical weapons.

[berashith]

but we are in the US, so we have square feet instead of square meters... which means it takes 9 times as many sensors!

Re:Attention DHS!

[Anonymous Coward]

Yeah and I can think of only two words scarier - President Palin.

Lex Luthor's defenses are all kryptonite and red sun lamps. You don't send in Superman, you send in Batman or Wonder Woman.

Great, now you've got Lex Luthor with a utility belt and an invisible plane.

Aw, geez, not this shit again. Clark Kent is a reporter. He wears glasses. Superman is... Superman. He's weird and cool. And he does not. Wear. GLASSES!

Give it up already.
