The FBI and their would-be tipsters could be flat out trying
investigate everyone who uses encryption, anonymizer and privacy tools
on the Internet, or changes SIM cards in their mobile phone! At least
"wearing T-shirts with inscrutable slogans" isn't on the list yet or
we'd all be rounded up...
Seriously - who writes this stuff?
Dear Alan,
I can't help but imagine Jeff Foxworthy saying:
"You might be a redneck if you think someone--
concerned about privacy
signing on to Comcast or AOL
paying using cash
changing their SIM card
concealing data in photos (is there an app for that?)
purchasing chemicals
reading equipment manuals
reading revolutionary literature
writing program code
watching attack coverage
looking at stadium seating maps
--might be a terrorist.
Call (888) 705-JRIC and mention "redneck". :^)
Regards,
Douglas Otis
