The Department of Homeland Security has released their 2011 "Analysts Desktop Binder," detailing how the department has been monitoring activity on the internet and social networks. The binder includes an extensive list of key words and search terms carefully watched by analysts in multiple agencies including the Directorate for National Protection and Programs, Directorate for Science and Technology, Office of Health Affairs, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and others. Many monitored search terms are basic and used on a regular basis by every day American citizens and journalists.

We’re being watched and we all volunteered when we accepted that we couldn’t live without the internet, email and cell phones.

I remember in ‘92 o r’93 when Ross Perot told Larry King about “email”. I thought it was the dumbest term I’d ever heard.

So simply posting a song by *Ice*house named *Electric* Blue will get a look? Sheesh! Is this how they're spending our taxdollars now?

Sheesh! Nothing in my tag line is getting tracked!

I have one (though I wasn't aware of it until reading the article.) But you'll have to search to find it.
