Web could be terror training camp: Chertoff
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061017/..._chertoff_dc_5

*snip*

"We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of International Association of the Chiefs of Police.

"They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination," Chertoff said. "Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites."

Let's ban the Internet! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Mods, I wasn't sure if this belongs here - took a chance because it was DHS material - feel free to move :)

MICROSOFT ANNOUNCES NEW SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS FOR WINDOWS DHS EDITION


-Redmond Washington-
Microsoft announces a new security enhancment for windows version DHS. DHS will supercede all preexisting windows version. Some of the new features will include a fingerprint and DNA analysis upon login which will be automatically routed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Also a new safety feature will require each person logging onto Windows DHS edition to show a government issued ID.

When asked how he felt about it, Secretary Chertoff said "I feel that today we have won a victory in the war on terror." He then showed how the security features will work, a process which took him about an hour to log into Windows DHS. And after logging in he repeatedly needed to scan his ID through the system. He was succesfully able to send an email through which should get to it's final destination sometime next week.

Chertoff probably considers FlyerTalk a global security threat too. :rolleyes:

If FlyerTalk.com were to receive a NSL as part of a "terrorism-related investigation" -- whatever that is :rolleyes: -- it wouldn't even be allowed to be officially mentioned here, right?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

LOL, Feel safer everybody?

Every time Comrade Chertoff, aka the little piece of dog crap's nonsense is posted on an internet site, I feel like his terrorist training camp is extending into cyberspace.

May you rot in Hell, Comrade Chertoff. You are quite possibly the worst so-called American to ever live. :td: :td:

How can we be safe until FlyerTalk is banned and all FT lovers of "metal" plastic cards are "registered" or banned if they dare to voice something other than the party line. Just kidding. :D

As at least some in DHS are monitoring FT, amongst a few other things, I feel safer already. :rolleyes:

I often review the ativity reports for a couple of community websites in London that serve some local muslim associations. It's really funny to see addresses in the U.S. State Dept. reading lists of recent births, college application tips, burial advice and listening to community radio feeds.

The U.S. is so not going to win any war with DHS, The Bush White House and Rumsfeld's pentagon on the job. Anyway, it's really fine by me if they want to waste their valuable resources.

Used to be that only the nutsos on street corners wearing tinfoil hats talked like that. Now, not so much.

Sad but true, especially as the government couldn't do before what it does now. Some are just reading it because they are interested in those things which interest frequent flyers. Others with relevant government (and government contractor) IP addresses are another matter.

So what does Chertoff want? Web filtering at the national level like they have in China? :rolleyes:

After reading some topics, his underling Kip "The Idiot"©®™ has probably decided the Leader of the FT Cell is somone with the code name "Osama Bart Spiff" and put them on the No Fly List. :D

I feel safer already. ^ Good work, Kip. ^ Your bonus is on its way. In cash. In a Quart Ziploc. @:-)

How can you tell when Chertoff is saying something stupid? His lips are moving. :D

No-compute list. You will be required to present ID to the computer which will then allow login only if you are not on the list. You will be required to re-validate that ID every few minutes at random. David Nelson, Robert Johnson, and Sam Adams will have to go back to using snail mail. Politicians on both sides of the aisle and government officials will say it's OK to deny computer access without due process because there's no "right to use a computer" expressed in the Constitution. :rolleyes:
