I don't even need to read the article to guess what NuLab is up to now.

Their desperation to justify policing us all on terror just sinks lower and lower. You would have thought kicking out the radical preachers would've been a good start, but PC stops us from doing even that. Yes, we have to defend people who wish nothing but death upon us. Where is the sense in that?

If Brown and NuLab doesn't get out of office soon there might just be a revolution...

No, no, no Police state we are not. We're just being more openly watched. CIA and the like probably do it all the time, just now we're being told.
If you say "I want to kill the President" "Jihad" "Osama Bin Laden" etc on your phone / text / email it HAS to be read by someone to check it's not a threat. They've also got like every email ever on a big computer and other scary stuff.


Edit:

"We have no way of knowing whether Osama bin Laden is chatting to Abu Hamza on Facebook"

Well search in their names and add as friend...duh!

Guy 1 "Hey we are gonna start monitoring people conversations and any other freedoms they have."
Guy 2 "Is that legal?"
Guy 1 "Oh just put the fighting terrorism stamp on it."

You know, terrorists have already won, they have reduced us to a country that is monitored 24/7.

You think thats bad just look at this

http://www.boingboing.net/2009/03/24/london-cops-reach-ne.html#previouspost

the posters include slogans like "A bomb won't go off because weeks before, a shopper reported someone for studying the CCTV cameras. Don't rely on others: if you suspect it, report it." along with them monitoring our internet as well now. Oh dear god.

*waggles fingers* Scary stuff of scariness. Like the Ark of the Covenant
I kid.

I'd imagine they comb a hell of a lot of email, but permanent storage in one location would be a bit silly. Numbers in the high petabytes would be required to store it and any type of long-term analysis would take damn impressive supercomputers.

That being said, I know someone who had a wiretap card replace the normal one in the exchange box for complex reasons involving North Koreans. Only found out about it because it played merry hell with an answering machine. :D

I'm wondering how stupid the government thinks terrorists actually are? Do they really believe that Osama Bin Laden actually sets his Facebook status to "...is making cunning plans to destroy the western infidels"
Though that would be something to see.

Yeah, gets worse and worse all the time.

Happens slowly though so it's a lot less noticeable. None of this crap existed 10 years ago.

Am I now an FBI suspect? Coolio! However I lack the time and/or patience to kill Obama. I'll leave that up to the sniper on the ro-...damn said too much!

EDIT: I DO NOT WANT TO KILL OBAMA and there is no plot to kill him as far as I'm aware!!!
Sssh, you're making it too obvious.
