If you have political opinions on any subject, you are tracked by the DHS.

Or if you play any kind of wargame.

Or if you talk about your military service.

Or if you talk about the effects of Climate Change.

Or if you smoke weed.

Hell with it, I already KNEW I was on a watch list. Just for future reference I would NEVER commit Suicide or travel anywhere at night unaccompanied.

The 2600 keyword popped off the page for me. 2600 is the original NNTP newsgroup for "white hat" hackers, that is, hackers who seek out exploits in order to make the systems more secure. I guess that also includes people like Snowden, depending on which side of the fence you're on.

What do I win? A better game would be to allow the addition of conjunctions, prepositions, pronouns, and other minor parts of speech to include as many terms as possible in a single sentence.

To thine own self be true.

A good attitude, since there are probably hundreds or even thousands of agencies, corporations, sites and organizations tracking us at any given moment, lol. Windows 10 was loaded with spyware, much of which has been downloaded in updates in even those not volunteering to change over.

We're universally on watchlists, I expect, with a lot of heartily bored programs/people trying to sort through our recipes and travel plans to work out how many backpacks we own, just in case anything actually suspicious can be ignored by someone official but too busy checking for citizen weed use and criticism of government officials/would-be government officials to care about terrorists...

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Please don't blacklist me; I really deplore rape. Although, would a pro-rape stance take me OFF the DHS list of people to track? Or would that only work for politicians?

. . . lots of storms this summer, so lots of Facebook posts in the vein of "Our power is out--is yours?", "Power lines down on X Street", "Is X Street flooded?", "Another severe thunderstorm warning!", etc.

you'd probably have a very thick file.

You do realize, don't you, that by publishing this entire list, you'll probably have speedboat salesmen parking in your neighborhood.

Kos, I ws throwing a paragraph or two of encrypted innocent stuff into many posts and comments, just to waste their decrypt resources. Something I should probably start doing again.

And some seriously weird words too. Cain and Abel? Crest? Delay? Erosion? Good lord!

I remember thinking that INTERPOL or whomever, had to have been going nuts flagging & recording phone conversations all over the world after 9/11.

Even with technological advances of today, it would seem average Joes and Janes keep DHS & NSA pretty busy just talking about the weather, the latest food recall, or the diarrhea their twins have due to some "infection" or "food poisoning."

Tamiflu? Srsly?

Yet another job I'm glad I don't have. Right up there with proctologist, urinalysis monitor, and Clinton/Trump ass kisser.
