Value your privacy? You may be a terrorist! (according to FBI)

I for one feel anyone using IE6 would raise some red flags.

While the memo is discouraging I wouldn't put too much weight into it. It comes off as something put together by non technical individuals trying to close out their work day early on a Friday afternoon.

Though it seems there was some common sense applied the fine print of the flyer does contain the following message:

I feel it was just a bad attempt at a PSA. Now if this was the wording in a new bill forbidding privacy tools then yes red alert, shields up, fire photon torpedos.

 

In recent news, "Caution on Twitter urged as tourists barred from US"
-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16810312

DHS must monitor Twitter. Facebook too, I bet. I wonder what else. Gmail?

 

Then the entire government might as well be terrorists. They value privacy way more than us (and is definitely suspicious).

 

Some of them are, & others have been, both in recent times & the past But they get protected

 

I wonder what'll happened if I report a tight-lipped FBI agent for suspicious activity .

 

Wait until it becomes suspicious to close your curtains or have a hedge. Going that way.

 

According to the FBI, Internet Privacy is Now Considered to be Suspicious Activity

edit:Ah thanks, I thought I'd seen something here about this, and couldn't find it!

 

This is seriously the stupidest thing I have seen come out of the FBI in a while.

Although I must say every time I go to my local startbucks I get questions and looks when I pull out my laptop and Privacy Filter for it (on of those 3M covers). Privacy for some reason is a bad thing in peoples eyes. So sad to see though.

I laugh at the part were it says "People switching SIM cards or using multiple phones" So in other words ever business person in the world is a criminal. :/

 

If you're making a big deal about not wanting people to see your computer on a public network it's going to draw attention.

People will assume you're doing something you shouldn't.

Also why the **** would you be using TrueCrypt/PGP/etc. on a public computer? This should be common sense NOT to enter passwords on hardware you don't own. I'm mean personally I don't even mount encrypted volumes (or boot my OS) in public areas just because you never know if someone may try stealing your computer. I just boot off of a flash drive that way if something does happen they don't get anything useful.

The weirdest look you'll ever get is when you put a 3M screen on your computer though
