From an article at:
http://publicintelligence.net/do-you-like-online-privacy-you-may-be-a-terrorist/ February 1, 2012 in News Public IntelligenceA flyer [1] designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote
suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity. The document, part of a program called “Communities Against Terrorism”, lists the use of “anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address” as a sign that a person could be engaged in or supporting terrorist activity. The use of encryption is also listed as a suspicious activity along with steganography, the practice of using“software to hide encrypted data in digital photos” or other media. In fact, the flyer recommends that anyone “overly concerned about privacy”
or attempting to “shield the screen from view of others” should be considered suspicious and potentially engaged in terrorist activities. Logging into an account associated with a residential internet service provider (such as Comcast or AOL), an activity that could simply indicate that you are on a trip, is also considered a suspicious activity. Viewing any content related to “military tactics” including manuals or “revolutionary literature” is also considered a potentialindicator of terrorist activity. This would mean that viewing a number of websites, including the one you are on right now, could be construed
by a hapless employee as an highly suspicious activity potentially linking you to terrorism. The “Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities” contained in theflyer are not to be construed alone as a sign of terrorist activity and
the document notes that “just because someone’s speech, actions,beliefs, appearance, or way of life is different; it does not mean that he or she is suspicious.” However, many of the activities described in
the document are basic practices of any individual concerned with security or privacy online. The use of PGP, VPNs, Tor or any of the many other technologies for anonymity and privacy online are directly targeted by the flyer, which is distributed to businesses in an effort to promote the reporting of these activities. [1]http://publicintelligence.net/fbi-suspicious-activity-reporting-flyers/Does anyone have any opinions on how this will impact Tor and it's users
in the United States? It seems to me that anyone wishing to use Tor to protect themselves, especially at cafes, would start being unnecessarily harassed. Take care, Chris -- -- Christopher A. Lindsey Garuda LLC PGP Key: AFD4E820 -- dar # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dar/mind
