Judging by the extremely long list [PDF] of keywords DHS uses to monitor social networking sites you have your work cut out for you. In fact judging by the frequently used words like spammer, China, storm, flood, and pirates you’re forced to scour almost the entire Internet. Hell being the agency you work for is one of the listed keywords you’re likely also forced to scour your entire intranet as well.
I would like to thank Bruce Schneier for bringing this list to my attention so that I could get your attention. Now that I have your attention I have a message for you and your fellow government agents: fuck you. Feel free to forward my message to your boss.
Even though your list is quite extensive I’ve noticed several words missing that you may wish to add: sovereign, anarchist, freedom, liberty, founding fathers, rights, and ponies. Why ponies? Because of this guy.
Anyways you should get back to work. Feel free to nose around my sight for a bit, I’m sure you’ll find something in need of additional DHS attention. If you have any questions feel free to submit them to the e-mail address listed on the right-hand side of this page, I’ll get back to you at my earliest convenience (do be warned though that any reply sent from my will contain an attached image of some pornographic image so vulgar that the strongest eye bleach won’t be capable of removing it).
Sincerely,
Christopher Burg
