No wonder they want to censor the internet.
All part of trying to make people believe that censoring their right to information is not only in their interest, but is for their own safety. Anyone who still wants some privacy or anonymity in their day-to-day lives on the internet cannot be trusted. They could be making some sort of "computer simulation" of a plot to bomb New York- like that one time on CSI! Or looking at child porn! like that creepy IT networking nerd from Law & Order SVU!
Everyone seems to be towing the line that privacy is creepy, and that 9/11 made everyone, potentially, your enemy.

My god what a bunch of fucking bullshit! The only real terrorists in the US are the fuckers now residing in washington. They are fucking over MANY more lives than terrorists ever could. Someone needs to make and release flyers showing people how to identify and protect themselves from government snitches.
Sorry to tell you this US gov, but a total of about 15 people have died from terrorism in western civilization over the past decade, yet you are wasting BILLIONS of dollars "protecting" us from them (by stripping us of our god given fucking inalienable rights). You are a waste of time, a waste of money, and terrorism as we now know it is almost a complete fabrication.

If you don't let us label you as a terrorist, the terrorists win!
OT: something has seriously got to change in the next decade with politics, because it just seems like too much stuff is building up at once (corporate lobbying, draconian detention laws, censorship, excessive privatisation, and very high youth unemployment round the world). Maybe revolution, maybe politicians will just stop & start listening (more unlikely).

By acting this way, the USA is showing that the terrorists are winning seeing that their job is to terrorize its citizens.
This is starting to get to McCarthy levels of witch hunting now. Did america not learn anything from the cold war?
...Thus confirming my belief that 'terrorist' holds much the same status as the word 'paedophile' did a decade ago, and the word 'witch' did centuries prior to that.
All I can be reminded of is Pavlov's dogs - every time the 'terrorist' bell rings, people come running, salivating about the next potential terrorist they can help be the big hero with and get arrested.
From an outside perspective- the US is starting to get a bit nutty.

Damn, no more violent porn for me. I suppose I should stop google-ing how to make my own fireworks too.

Oh no, I did understand what the flyer is meant to do and I can somewhat see the implications and need for such awareness, thing is: at a time when they fail to put up a bill that'd censor the w.w.w. they start lashing out, first Megaupload, now this... If it had come at any other time, I probably wouldn't have cared, now I just played the obvious troll...Zachary Amaranth said:
On that note, I do pretty much of everything in that flyer when I'm in public with my PC and I'm not plotting anything, just being savvy about my privacy as much as possible. And according to that same flyer, I could very well be a terrorist. And yes... I suppose I posted this to "rile people up", you know, raise some awareness of my own as to how the Federal Bureau of Investigation sees our day to day activities.
... wow.
If this is what the FBI looks for when searching for terrorism I'm pretty much fearing for my life right now ...
So it hasn't occurred to them that people might like to have privacy just for the sake of privacy? Next thing we know, taking a shit with the bathroom door closed is going to be considered suspicious behavior ...
"- Terrorist/Revolutionary Literature" ... yeah well, I'm not a terrorist, but after reading this shit, revolution doesn't sound like such a bad idea :\

Not world ending, but DEFINITELY a step in the wrong direction. Call me paranoid, but this sounds like it is leading to a ban on proxies and encryption.
Oh well. The FBI hasn't been credible in a very long time, so hopefully no cafe owners will be dumb enough to actually try and enforce this.
And besides, fuck off FBI, I'm behind 7 proxies...

If they keep this up, they're gonna have an Internet version of Bin Laden somewhere down the line.
It's time to replace the US government. It is incurably rotten from within now.
