List of Words that the Department of Homeland Security Looks for Online

article image

The Department of Homeland Security has released a list of words (below) that it uses to monitor social networking sites for possible signs of terrorist threats against the U.S.

The list was made public because of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, reports The Daily Mail.

Words such as "Al Qaeda" and "terrorism" are included, not surprisingly, but so are ambiguous words such as "Mexico" and "pork."

The full list of words (below) are part of the Department of Homeland Security 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder,'  which tell employees to identify "media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities."

The list was first posted online by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which states that "vast amounts of First Amendment protected speech that is entirely unrelated to the Department of Homeland Security mission to protect the public against terrorism and disasters."

Department of Homeland Security spokesman Matthew Chandler said in a statement: "To ensure clarity, as part of ... routine compliance review, DHS will review the language contained in all materials to clearly and accurately convey the parameters and intention of the program."

Time to bring back LOTS of

Time to bring back LOTS of things, Spook being one of the greatest of ideas. It's time to take back our country!!!!! It's also time to stop kissing up to everyone who does't like the USA and our laws!!!! Get over it or get out!!!!!

"Love it or leave it?" That

"Love it or leave it?" That didn't work in the 70s and it doesn't fly now. Maybe you like living in a police state where warrantless searches and wiretaps are legal and common. Freedom-loving real Americans do not. Neo-con Nazis like you are the ones that should form your own country.

I'd give you Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. If you promise to seal your borders and never enter the free part of the continent, I'll even throw in Florida.

There used to be a program

There used to be a program called "spook" that would incorporate all of the keywords into a message's signature to trigger an NSA monitoring event. This is nothing new.

It sounds like it is time to bring "spook" back as a program in order to make Homeland security monitoring of email meaningless.
