guarding privacy = terrorist activity

What a shocker! Anyone that doesn't "comply" with the gummint edicts, at the airport or elsewhere, is a suspected terrorist regardless of their age, sex or national origin. Pretty soon we'll all be "Enemies of The State".

I guess it's a joke... Where is the link to the source of the flyer?

When I hear issues involving anonymous speech, I am reminded of this Supreme Court guidance.
»www.eff.org/issues/anonymity
"Anonymous communications have an important place in our political and social discourse. The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A much-cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission {514 U.S. 334 (1995)}, reads:

Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society."

Supreme Court got it right in this decision.

"Evidence of a residential based internet provider (signs on to Comcast, AOL,
etc.)"

I fucking knew it. AOL users are terrorists. That explains everything!

The following collection of 25 flyers produced by the FBI and the Department of Justice are distributed to local businesses in a variety of industries to promote suspicious activity reporting. The flyers are not released publicly, though several have been published in the past by news media and various law enforcement agencies around the country. We have compiled this collection from a number of online sources.

When will the people realize that with DRM they aren't purchasing anything?

Well, this certainly explains why I get strip-searched at airports, and driving across the border. Who knew?

The 3 letter agencies are getting farther, and farther from a grasp of reality as days go by. If this were a regular citizen, they would be locked up as a paranoid schizophrenic for the public good.

Where is the link to an official site? Without the link I may consider it as a fake. The offered content is too serious to make just assumptions...

Better watch out for tattoo parlors.

Wait...makes racial jokes? Do they just assume every terrorist walks into stores and answers the greeters "DEATH TO AMERICA!" and gives everyone the finger as they shop?

This is getting too cartoony for government work.

"A flyer designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity."

A internet cafe employee reading the flyer will probably help with eliminating more false positives than increasing surveilance overall.

Just imaging the potential choas of whispering "Tripwire" over the phone in a tattoo parlour however.

It gets worse. Doing missionary work, and doing scientific study, have become suspicious too. Look out, Brigham Young and MIT graduates.

Thank you for the screen shot. Here is the link to the page, BTW.
I found it ridiculous to see suggestions like to look for those who:
