regarding previous discussion about baiting TLA's and resource consumption attacks / honey tokens this article is relevant: http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002439.html "It's not just about who calls who. The NSA phone-monitoring project looks at how terrorists place their calls and then applies that model to everyone, to see who else might be a suspect. It's a form of predictive data mining made famous by the notorious Total Information Awareness project... Today, we learn why everyone's calls had to be in the target set. The NSA wasn't just conducting social network analysis. It was using a more controversial data mining technique, dragged into the popular imagination by Darpa's Total Information Awareness project, which focuses on prediction, not connections. Under this approach, sophisticated algorithms hunt for patterns of terrorist behavior in information-trails, and then apply those patterns to average citizens, seeing which ones fit. It doesn't matter who you know. It's what you do that gets you in trouble. If you spend money and buy plane tickets like Mohammed Atta did, then maybe you're a terrorist, too. Same goes for the kind, and frequency, of phone calls you make." so, if you really felt like poking the bear, the task is simple: act like a terrorist! google news alerts will give you the necessary "terrorist behaviors" that get the desired attention. these activities range from paying down significant credit card debt to researching critical information, transportation, and power distribution infrastructure. if anyone decides to try this i'd love to hear the tale of your interrogation and/or temporary incarceration... *grin*
