[quote]The intriguing list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'.[/quote]

Edited by Spartan Ken 15: 5/31/2013 8:35:16 PMThese words are something everyone uses everyday. If you look up Virus or Trojan you are being watched (what if your computer is infected and you are looking for a way to fix it)? If you look up weather events you are being watched, wtf? So if a kid was doing a report on a Tornado, the department of Homeland security should monitor him for terrorist threats? These words are all so common in everyday language that they allow Homeland security to watch everyone. Good thing I don't use Facebook.
