If they sent this letter to all its employees and contractors, I suppose its a given, that they are also saying “we know where you live” </sarcasm off> I have noticed also that their is a new Firefox add on called Flagger which inserts red flag keywords (like bomb, Taliban and anthrax) into the web addresses you visit. flagger.io/Although I chuckled, the red flag keywords aren’t any that I think the NSA are really looking for. Fun all the same. If anyone wants to come up with some improvements I'll start it off: Hydrogen peroxide, hidrogen silindrlər, barometric fuze, chapathi/chapatti flour, kommunal bıçaq, etc. Also, the automated software would be looking for connections in syntax. For instance: قائد الطائرة مدية خطف Individually all three can be used quite innocently but together in one email.... points to quite another possibility!

Oh, it late at night here and I'm tired. Meant the software should be able to detect double entendres and semantical associations and things.

Reminds me how in the days when USENET was the main online forum, some people already liked to add "NSA fodder" into their signatures, in the hope of overloading their snooping computers. (I recall it even had its own Jargon File entry, looking it up is left as an exercise to the reader).

Gosh, my last two functioning brains cells have forgotten about those days. Back then, peppering (salting means something else) may have been more effective than today's Flagger. Back then, the bees-knees was something I think was called ECHELON. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELONVery primitive compared to modern day pattern recognition, which can now flag analogical and metaphorical occurrences. So whilst I commend the spirit of the applications author, I think he just encourages people to p*** in to the wind. We need something better. Just a personal opinion.
