The Devil Is In The Details: DHS Monitoring Web & "Wrong" Words.

DHS will monitor more U.S. citizens on the Internet, the feds may have the power to pull the plug on the Web, and certain words automatically incriminate you if used in emails. It's been a busy week, eroding away at privacy. The devil in the details of censorship.

What's this "US citizen" I keep hearing about?

Encryption FTW.

If the DHS web monitoring ever occurs, we could practice civil disobedience and salt all emails with the keywords they alert on. Maybe have a small prog that opens a seperate browser and uses the trigger keywords in unencrypted searches.

That might be one of the few effective ways to deliver a clear message, that they're going too far and we the people find it unacceptable. We could also potentially tie up a lot of their computing power by dropping random encrypted messages on free sites via overseas proxies.
