I was in the mcdonalds, eating my big mac and displaying my "George W Bush is a doodie head" t-shirt for all to see. Suddenly, a brigade of truck drivers and plumbers wrestled me to the floor and informed me that I was being arrested for anti-american behavior. I spent 3 hours sitting in a police truck that afternoon.
Sorry man..., I didn't mean to get you in so much trouble with the Feds, I just found that t-shirt insulting...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

How do I know that your really You Killed Jesus, your proabably a federal agent here to monitor us and steal our secrets.
Absurd TIPS designed for other purpose The operation TIPS is an absurd one designed for particular purpose. 1. It will do little to stop terrorist. Do they expect those informants will recognize terrorist at one glance? Or terrorist will show them the bomb they made? It could hurt the normal police work by flooding false information. 2. If FBI couldn't handle properly with many valued clues,(e.g. they even neglected report about suspect who connected to 911 attack by their own field office of Minisota and Phoenix.) Why they now prefer information from inexperienced amateurs? 3. In a hurry. One million informants, even one per cent of that amount, will consume a lot of resource. Interview, training....how much does it cost? They didn't talk about it. But within days, in August, they will carry on the plan. It only means they are planed to do something under that name of TIPS. 4. Unnecessary. Informant should work covertly. If they really need some informants, the recruit must be in secret. Now what will people think of those people of mail carrier, truckers...? Why did they openly announce that notorious plan? 5. It will invade people's privacy. It's a plan spited by most people. It will hurt the fame of current government and thus influence the coming Nov. election. Yet, they choose this time to announce such a plan, obviously are in urgent. As a matter of fact, they already have a complete surveillance net all over the country. What they need is to find an excuse. In Cement gate scandal, it's obviously an result of intelligence surveillance. Lacking of such an excuse, they left a suspended "deep throat". In Lewinsky scandal, they had Linda Trip to play that 'excuse'. In many cases, they got secret through illegal surveillance. They couldn't say it because they don't want people be aware of they are under monitor. TIPS will give a reasonable excuse for them. 'One million' is a random pick used to describe the popularity of the plan. They didn't consider other factor when they talked about it. Why they are hurry in to announce a project which should be carried on in secret? Perhaps to discover something before Nov. election? Either to find an Anthrax perpetrator, a terrorist with dirty bomb, or some framed case of their own plan, it's their choice. The mail carrier will play an important role in it. That's why when people cheer that post office said they won't join the program, I remind them a news neglected by most ones. Quote, "WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a shift from its position 24 hours earlier, the U.S. Postal Service said Thursday it had decided to meet with the Justice Department to discuss Operation TIPS, a government plan to encourage U.S. postal workers to report suspicious activity as part of the government's war on terrorism." http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/18/operation.tips/index.html They had push through 'Patriot Act'. They of course have no problem to make Postal Service changing its mind.
TIPS might result in arresting of several terrorist;(FBI can even creat some frame-up cases) It may achieve in solving tens or hundreds of crimes such like burgalary, fightings.... But the most successful thing is they will make tens of millions people under surveillance. America will become a spy country where everybody is monitored by government. It also will produce a monster FBI which controls one million sub-undercover agent. A scene that Gestapo, KGB had ever dreamed of. At that time, we should have a temple for Ashcroft with the words: bug the people, monitor the people, watch the people. And change the words on bank note into: "Only God can be trusted" because no others can be trusted then.
Whatever happened to free speech? You werent in an "act" of anti-american sentiment. Just displaying a tshirt showing your feelings for our president. One more mark on the PRO side for the reasons to live in a different country Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
