Do you like online privacy? FBI/DOJ think you may be a terrorist if you say yes!

http://j.mp/ABtmo9  (public intelligence)

  "A flyer 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."
