The AI still needs to be tweaked. Further software development will have the AI contacting the Homeland Security.

Homeland Security - sounds a lot like Staatssicherheit. State Security. Stasi. Now just what was Markus Wolf doing after the Berlin Wall fell?

A hoe is a garden tool, a ho is a loose woman.

Yes, to those fluent in ebonics or jive.
