Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debate - Keywords... We're all on a watchlist now

Just about everyone on this forum has used one of these words....

Feel safe yet?

USA needs to change its name:

United Frightened Paranoid Police States of America

At least there weren't any delays in releasing this. I'm sure it created quite a stir within DHS....a real incident. This list doesn't seem that smart. I'm sure seeing people make fun of it really burns for the authorities that created it.

I'm sure glad I live on land zoned for agriculture. There are lots of chances for human-to-animal contact. We have a herd of cows in the pasture across the street. Not one of them has ever come down with Foot and Mouth disease. I am not very resistant to poison ivy, which means I always have a chance of exposure. Being out in the country, we do have a lot of black outs, and, we're a long way from an airport.

Your tax dollars at work.

Compiling a huge and completely useless database. Pitiful.

Oh noes! They now probably have a record of me reading your post!

BTW, is the list only in English?

Definitely!

Most likely. Why do you ask? The TSA has to threaten foreigners flying to speak English when saying their names.

Would merely reading the list now place one on the watch list?:rolleyes:

Jeez, I wish the TDC could speed it up a bit as with this infection I have, the meds the doctor prescribed give me gas and cause me to take a leak every 20 minutes and I really have to to the head ;)

BART and MARTA but not the MTA?

Oh I bet Mayor Bloomberg is not at all happy that once again New York has been ignored by DHS :D

Social media

I knew it! Zuck and his army of 900 million drones are a terrorist organization. :eek:

You forgot "fertilizer."

That's because the whole idea is pure 100% "fertilizer." As is the agency that came up with it. ;););)

Which agency do you think came up with it?

You've never heard of Room 641A, have you?

Which agency do you think came up with it?
According to the OP's article, that would be the Department of HS. I believe you'll find that the "H" stands for "Holy." This board is family-friendly (unlike DHS) so I can't tell you what the "S" stands for.

Not since Agent J made me look at that flashy thing. :D

sad, but very accurate. We govern by fear, not by common sense or the law.

Rats! Just when I was going to go to Mexico to have some pork carnitas under a cloud free sky.

(I was going to delete this but I figured they've seen the keystrokes, anyway, so......)

I'm thinking we should set up a Facebook page devoted to creating writing using as many of these words as possible. We've made a great start right here in this thread!

I like that idea, it is smart and borders on brilliant. Use social media and our computer infrastructure to get exposure on the infection that is festering in the DHS, something very similar to a virus and is an epidemic. I bet it burns their butts that we are now trafficking in their dangerous, nearly radioactive words.

... even while riding the METRO during one of WMATA's famous service disruptions.

See MTA gets too many threats as is, so why would they want to scour social media for people incessantly whining about MTA's high quality service?

As the result of a Freedom of Information Act request, the US Government has released the list of words that will trigger the Department of Homeland Security to start monitoring your online contributions and conversations. The list is divided into sections by subject matter.

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/05/29/dont-say-that-just-dont-say-it/

Wow. By TSA's logic, the following tweet would sound five alarms at some poor schmuck's desk in DC:

"The emergency task force at work held a fire drill to test response times. Was slow to evacuate because I was in the bathroom with bad gas."

Oy.

Gubbermint ain't too bright, is it?

I guess opt outers shouldn't blow up at the gropers. ;)

So what should one do when riding the Metro in an emergency? Suppose the WMATA had an electric failure or outage and their internal telecommunications architecture were to collapse? I certainly think that would affect transportation security - perhaps even to the point of delaying flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

It most certainly wouldn't aid commuters' efforts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), or Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to get home in the evening. This may even anger some to the point of causing a riot, which the police would need to be called in to resolve.

Wow! Now it's getting really thick! :D

We really need to have an on-line literary contest and submit all the entries to the "See Something; Say Something" website.

Perhaps the folks in charge could start by applying this program to the emails of all Congressional and DHS employees. Anyone whose emails or social network communications contain these keywords should be put on immediate suspension while they are investigated and, perhaps, cleared.

You know, 'guilty until (provisionally) proven innocent'. Out of an abundance of caution, of course.

Not unlike the 'zero tolerance' policy levied against the UK kids who got turned back because they tweeted a WoMD (Word of M*ss Destruct**n).

Hay nubes de puerco en el cielo!

Just in case. ;)

Ha Ha and they can't even spell! Lightening indeed, sheeesh.

...that you people take seriously anything appearing in The Daily Mail.

...that you people take seriously anything appearing in The Daily Mail.Scribd is perhaps more credible though: http://www.scribd.com/doc/82701103/Analyst-Desktop-Binder-REDACTED pp19-23

There's a current list of suspicious words and phrases available from DHS! It starts on Page 24 of the linked report:

Privacy Impact Assessment for the Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and
Situational Awareness Initiative Update (http://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/privacy/PIAs/privacy_pia_ops_NOC%20MMC%20Update_April2013.pdf)

It seems I still cannot speak about clouds of pork without attracting the government's interest. :(

I'm surprised Flyertalk is not on the list of sites to be monitored, as often as people here speak of airports, airplanes, delays, cancelled flights, body scanners, transportation security, borders, screening, etc. We don't say much about SWAT teams, anthrax, agro terror, and drug cartels, but we've got those flight-related words covered.

"Electric" is on the list? Government resources are being expended because someone might say "electric" on the Internet? How can DHS possibly get any useful information out of this initiative?

And while I'm ranting, whatever does "establish a common operating picture" mean? DHS repeats and repeats it in their report, but it seems like a meaningless phrase to me.

"Electric" is on the list? Government resources are being expended because someone might say "electric" on the Internet? How can DHS possibly get any useful information out of this initiative?


I'm sure "pressure cooker" is next, if not already there.

My mom has a great recipe for pressure-cooking chicken that is sure to kill any lurking salmonella. I myself like to pressure-cook sweet corn on the cob when it is in season; tastes better than nuking it.

Just listing the words won't trigger the detection software. It can detect context to a limited extent. Everyone who uses the words in a sentence triggers the detection software - but then I would not be surprised if the DHS monitored this site anyway.

I'm surprised that I don't see specific names on that list.

Osama bin Laden
Timothy McVeigh
The Unabomber
Dick Cheney
Ted Kacynski
Saddam Hussein

Not to feed any conspiracy theory, but you may not have noticed that Flyertalk was down for an hour or two shortly after the news came out on Monday. Not only Flyertalk, but a couple of other vBulletin systems that I participate in - primarily travel related (one of which I *know* is NOT hosted or reachable by the same network path as FT). They came back up about the same time.

Odd coincidence.
