What’s with the title, Cary?

This: Tweeting the word ‘drill’ could mean your Twitter account is read by U.S. government spies

Once again, the Government is here to help. The Department of Homeland Security (while taking a break from not providing any Homeland Security) has determined that certain “key words” warrant an investigative drill down by agents. In other words, if you Tweet, blog, or Facebook about things like the collapse of your sand castle when the tide came in, the dentist using a drill on your teeth, the concern you may have about illegal immigrants, or even the strain your mother-in-law puts on your relationship, the DHS may be breathing down your neck.

Personally, I’m not worried. I’ve been on Nappy’s watch list for some time, since I blog, am a veteran, male, white, believe in the Second Amendment, believe in limited government, believe in the Constitution, and also because I judge a person on their actions, not on the color of their skin *coughobamacough*.

If you are worried, then do this: On Facebook, restrict your posts to only friends and family. Then, make sure you only have friends and family on your list.

On your blog, be sure to liberally quote the First Amendment, and your support of the First by your support of the Second.

On Twitter, make sure you know who is following you. You can block people you aren’t sure of. You can report and block people who want to do illegal things with/to you, so you should also be able to block unknown (to you) people from following and trying to “determine your identity” – like the DHS will be doing if they think you are using key words.

Funny thing – the DHS shouldn’t have any problem determining my identity – since I don’t hide it.

Just for good measure: Collapse Drill Virus Immigrant Illegal

There, that should keep them busy for a while.

Chat ya later…
