Florida Activates System For Citizens To Call Each Other Terrorists

An anonymous reader writes "Sheriffs in 13 Northeast Florida counties announced an online system Thursday for residents to report suspicious activity they think may be terrorism-related. The site provides examples of red flags to watch for, such as people with an unusual interest in building plans or who are purchasing materials useful in bomb making. Important places to watch include hobby stores and dive shops."

    7 Caught Trespassing At Quabbin Reservoir; Patrols Stepped Up Across State

    BELCHERTOWN (CBS) – Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.

    State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.

    The Quabbin, in Belchertown, is one of the country’s largest man-made public water supplies. Boston’s drinking water comes from the Quabbin and the Wachusett Reservoirs.

    I see your logic. The proper thing to do then is replace this system with an issue of brooms to the police for clean up after events since tips from concerned citizens never solve terrorist cases or prevent terrorist attacks.

    Got it.
